How to start apache2 automatically in a ubuntu doc

问题:

I am trying to create a Dockerfile that will start apache automatically. Nothing has worked. But If I log into the container and run service apache2 start it works. Why can I not run that command from my Dockerfile?

FROM ubuntu

# File Author / Maintainer
MAINTAINER rmuktader

# Update the repository sources list
RUN apt-get update

# Install and run apache
RUN apt-get install -y apache2 && apt-get clean

#ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/apache2", "-k", "start"]


#ENV APACHE_RUN_USER www-data
#ENV APACHE_RUN_GROUP www-data
#ENV APACHE_LOG_DIR /var/log/apache2

EXPOSE 80
CMD service apache2 start

回答1:

The issue is here: CMD service apache2 start When you execute this command process apache2 will be detached from the shell. But Docker works only while main process is alive.

The solution is to run Apache in the foreground. Dockerfile must look like this: (only last line changed).

FROM ubuntu

# File Author / Maintainer
MAINTAINER rmuktader

# Update the repository sources list
RUN apt-get update

# Install and run apache
RUN apt-get install -y apache2 && apt-get clean

#ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/apache2", "-k", "start"]


#ENV APACHE_RUN_USER www-data
#ENV APACHE_RUN_GROUP www-data
#ENV APACHE_LOG_DIR /var/log/apache2

EXPOSE 80
CMD apachectl -D FOREGROUND

For me last line with CMD was wrong:

# it helped me
CMD ["apachectl", "-D", "FOREGROUND"]
