Issues with vsftpd in Oracle Linux

Hi,

I’m trying to set-up a ftp server where external users (not in my domain) can log-in. I’m using oracle linux and attached are my docker file along with config files.

My problem is, I’m unable to start the vsftpd service while I’m building the container. I want this to be a one click solution - when a new user comes in, I want to deploy a container with everything ready. Currently I have to open a bash terminal to the container and restart vsftps service manually. If I don’t restart the service manually, “systemctl status vsftpd” gives output as 0.

Steps I’ve been performing -

docker build --no-cache -t ol7_slim:latest . --progress=plain -t my-image
docker run -dit --privileged --name ol7_slim_con ol7_slim:latest
docker exec -it ol7_slim_con bash
