Docker command execution with golang exec fails

Question

I use cmd.go (see below) to execute the docker command, but it does not work. I follow the following steps to execute and get the following error.

go build
sudo ./cmd

Conclusion:

docker run -v ~/exp/a.out:/a.out ubuntu:14.04 /a.out -m 10m
2014/10/16 14:32:12 exit status 1

On the other hand, it works like

sudo docker run -v ~/exp/a.out:/a.out ubuntu:14.04 /a.out -m 10m

leads to the correct exit a.out.

Hello World

This is the cmd.go code. How can I make it work? Thank!

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "log"
        "os/exec"
        "strings"
)

func ExampleCmd_Output() {
        //out, err := exec.Command("date", "--version").Output()   // This works
        //out, err := exec.Command("docker", "--version").Output() // This works
        //out, err := exec.Command(cmd, "images").Output() // Even docker images command works!

        cmd := "docker"
        cmdArgs := []string{"run", "-v", "~/exp/a.out:/a.out", "ubuntu:14.04", "/a.out", "-m", "10m"}
        fmt.Println(cmd + " " + strings.Join(cmdArgs, " "))
        out, err := exec.Command(cmd, cmdArgs...).Output()
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("%s", out)
}

func main() {
        ExampleCmd_Output()
}

EDIT: after the comment, I tried to execute the "docker image" command. It works if I run the executable using sudo. That is, I am using the following line in the code now.

out, err := exec.Command(cmd, "images").Output()

After completing the build and running "sudo./cmd", I get the output of the docker image command. However, without sudo, I still get exit status 1. But with the docker run command above, even with sudo, I don't get exit.

Os Exec Sudo Command Go, , .

func main() {
  cmdStr := "sudo docker run -v ~/exp/a.out:/a.out ubuntu:14.04 /a.out -m 10m"
  out, _ := exec.Command("/bin/sh", "-c", cmdStr).Output()  
  fmt.Printf("%s", out)
}
