Hi,  
I’m a beginner, and my goal is to create a container and be able to log in directly to execute commands. However, I have a problem. I create my image, I created a container from it. Once I try to connect, the container restarts in a loop.

Here is my Dockerfile :

```
FROM debian
MAINTAINER Kamiz

RUN apt-get -y update
CMD /bin/bash

```

On Portainer, I try to open a session :

Then, i have this message on Portainer :

`{"message":"Container d681deecb37a5b04e1b61c869c98873afdf99e62b6374238480203bdbeaab123 is restarting, wait until the container is running"}`

if I do not try to start a session, the container does not crash.  
What is wrong ?

Solved by launching the container with **-i -t** arguments 😃
