Docker run issue

[rtauxe]

Hi all,

I’m new with and I’m facing an issue.

I wanted to deploy a “racktables” container and I want to do it by myself. So I used the official ubuntu docker image and I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP and configured racktables. Everything is working fine.

Here is my problem :
I commit the container to save it as an image. Now I have the image and want to run it again. When I run
docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest

The container is initialized but keep restarting always and always.

And I don’t have any logs when I run
docker logs 783bc0198e58

Like I undestand while reading million of forum and documentation my container doesn’t have anything to run at startup. But I don’t know what to do for solving this issue.

Engine information :
Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825
OS :
Linux 4.15.0-29-generic #31-Ubuntu

Somebody can help me ?

Hi

This racktables image that you try to start from, is that somehting you build yourself?
Because typicaly, you wont start it with /bin/bash (as i can see in your screenshot that it does, but i belive its default )
So, my guess is that you need to run the container, with a command, like:

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest /some/command/to/start/racktables

[sillydockerid (Rik)]

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest

Try running

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest /bin/bash

and start httpd from the command line with

httpd -DFOREGROUND

If that works do

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest httpd -DFOREGROUND

Yes I took the ubuntu official image from docker hub and then installed LAMP and configured Racktables. When done, I commited the image.

So I tried what you said but it don’t work.
Basically I just created a script like this :

#!/bin/bash
service apache2 start
service mysql start
exit 0

Then I ran docker with this command :

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables_df racktables:201807274 /script/startrt.sh

That didn’t work, but I have a log now :

docker logs e2907758106a
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "exec format error"

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest /bin/bash

It’s not working. The container exit directly

And i don’t have any log like this.

Thank for your reply !

Hi again.

You cant start services that way im afraid.

if you want to start multiple services within 1 container, you should look into Supervisor.

I wrote earlier an quick example of this:

CentOS 7 systemd

Hi You are not going to get that to work in Docker. What I use, in the rare cases i need multiple services running in same container, is supervisor. quick example: services.conf: [program:sshd] directory=/usr/local/ command=/usr/sbin/sshd -D autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=true [program:someOtherService] directory=/usr/local/ command=/usr/sbin/Otherservice -D autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=true Dockerfile RUN apt-get install -y supervisor AD…

Ok so I’ll have a look for Supervisor.

Do you think that is better to run a container with php and apache and another with mysql ?

Thank you

[terpz (Martin Terp)]

Yes that would be the docker way to do it

php has a php+apache image

[rtauxe]

So that what I need to do :

Using Dockefile

Create a MySQL container from a Dockerfile with settings that I want/need. Then create a Dockerfile from php+apache image with all commands needed to configure Racktables that I link to the MySQL container.

Using docker-compose

Create a stack that will create these two containers.

Sounds better with docker-compose.

I’ll give a try, if needed I’ll post again on this topic.

[terpz (Martin Terp)]

yes, always use docker-compose if you ask me
Then you dont have to remember the “docker run” command

Also, mysql allready have a image for mysql: https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/

[sillydockerid (Rik)]

docker run -d -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest /bin/bash

Sorry my bad it should be
docker run -ti -p 8082:80 --name racktables racktables:latest /bin/bash
