Dockerfile won't run terminal commands!

Docker Engine General

Using the instruction from https://docs.docker.com/articles/dockerfile_best-practices/ , anything having to to do with in stalling or upgrading/updating software doesn’t works.

My docker file:

#Base image ubuntu 14.04

FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade  && apt-get -y dist-upgrade # this could be anything that is about package manager.
ENV PATH /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/.composer/vendor/bin
COPY README.md /
COPY ./entrypoint.sh /
ENTRYPOINT ["entrypoint.sh"]
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["service apache2 start"]

I tried even on another machine thinking it has something to do with my Laptop, same result. The example is just an example i tried multiple configurations, i tried docker files from github and so on, everytime there is something regarding package manger it fails. Is there something that I’m missing or is just broken

Hi,

Isn’t apt-get update working for you? In your above example apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade wont work as it will wait with a prompt for you to accept whether or not to install the packages.

So when dealing with package installation commands try to use -y option so that package manager starts the installation without prompting.

Example

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
