Docker reporting that my Linux kernel doesn't support cgroup cpu real-time period

Question

I've configured Docker on my Ubuntu 18.04 Server to expose its API so I can create and deploy Docker containers via REST requests, which I need to add certain features to my project. This worked fine for first few endpoints I tried. However, when I attempt to create a new Docker container (the main point of the exercise), I get the message:

{"message": "Your kernel does not support cgroup cpu real-time period"}

Is this true? Alternatively is it instead that I need to set something up to enable this functionality, or is Docker reporting incorrectly?

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "@./test-data/docker-create-api-test.json" http://localhost:1112/containers/create
{"message":"Your kernel does not support cgroup cpu real-time period"}

Very grateful for any assistance given as this functionality is critical to my project.

Answer 1

In the official Docker example that I had wrongly assumed would work as a test body, there was the following line:

"CpuRealtimePeriod": 1000000,

Which sets a value that, it seems, is not supported by most or perhaps any out of the box Linux distros. Arch Linux master race ;).
