Public bug reported:

1. We are running:
- RHEL 7.1
- OpenStack Kilo 2015-1 based on the Red Hat community edition RDO
- OpenStack nova-docker driver (git tag: origin/stable/kilo)
- Docker 1.6.1 (API version 1.18)

3. Reproduction is done when:
Do follow this HowTO (http://bderzhavets.blogspot.de/2015/05/running-nova-docker-on-openstack-rdo.html) with a little deviation regarding the docker image selection: do take "docker.io/fedora:latest"!

IMPORTANT: This docker image is built using a dockerfile not containing
any "CMD" directive!

Download the image from the docker hub:
docker pull "docker.io/fedora:latest"

Upload it to glance using:
docker save "docker.io/fedora:latest" | glance image-create --name "docker.io/fedora:latest" --is-public true --container-format docker --disk-format raw

Launch this docker image via the OpenStack Horizon dashboard. Please do
not specify any commands in the post creation tab!

Expected result:
Docker image should start although the image misses a CMD directive using an alternative CMD like "bin/bash" or the nova-docker driver should detect this missing directive and prevent its startup. Alternatively, a more speaking error message should occur within the OpenStack "nova-compute.log".

Actual result:
The launch of the image aborts based on the docker API reply saying: "APIError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error ("No command specified")"

4. Reproducing shell script / test:
Failing with OpenStack nova-docker driver generated params (missing "Cmd" directive):
Request: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:5555/containers/create -d '{"Tty":false,"AttachStderr":true,"NetworkDisabled":true,"Image":"docker.io/fedora:latest","Hostname":"instance-00000036",...}'
Reply: No command specified

Working (with included "Cmd" directive, see end of the test command): 
Request: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:5555/containers/create -d '{"Tty":false,"AttachStderr":true,"NetworkDisabled":true,"Image":"docker.io/fedora:latest","Hostname":"instance-00000036",..."Cmd":"/bin/bash"}'
