I am using docker SDK for python and trying to create a container. Following is the code I am executing:
import docker
client = docker.DockerClient(base_url='tcp://10.41.70.76:2375')
image = client.images.get('siab_user_one')
container = client.containers.run(image.tags[0], detach=True)
container.exec_run("ls")
But, the above code throws the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/aditya/workspace/term/lib/python3.6/site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 261, in _raise_for_status

Even after running the container in detached mode, container exits soon after creation.
PS: The docker image is present locally and was created manually.
It works fine with remote images.
I think you need to supply a command to prevent the container from exiting, try this:
container = client.containers.run(image.tags[0], command=["tail", "-f", "/dev/null"],detach=True)
or using tty=True with detach=True will help also
