docker executable file not found in $PATH

问题:

Trying to run a rails migration on a running docker compose container throws this error:

$ docker-compose run webapp rails db:migrate

ERROR: Cannot start service webapp: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"exec: \\"rails\\": executable file not found in $PATH\"\n"

However, I can access rails from inside the container:

$ docker-compose run webapp bash
root@3fd3a87275a1:/home/app/webapp# which rails
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin/rails

My container is already running and I can GET the page:

$ curl http://localhost -i

How do I run rails db:migrate in my container?

Dockerfile

FROM phusion/passenger-ruby23

# Set correct environment variables.
ENV HOME /root

# Use baseimage-docker's init process.
CMD ["/sbin/my_init"]

# additional packages
RUN apt-get update

# Active nginx
RUN rm -f /etc/service/nginx/down

# Install bundle of gems
WORKDIR /tmp
ADD Gemfile /tmp/
ADD Gemfile.lock /tmp/
RUN bundle install

# Copy the nginx template for configuration and preserve environment variables
RUN rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

# Add the nginx site and config
ADD webapp.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/webapp.conf

RUN mkdir /home/app/webapp
COPY . /home/app/webapp
RUN usermod -u 1000 app
RUN chown -R app:app /home/app/webapp
WORKDIR /home/app/webapp

# Clean up APT when done.
RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
EXPOSE 80

Docker Compose

version: '2'
services:
  webapp:
    build: .
    container_name: myapp
    working_dir: /home/app/webapp
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    environment:

    volumes:

    networks:

I don't know why this is happening, and I've filed an issue, but in the meantime, here's a workaround:

docker-compose run webapp bundle exec rails db:migrate

Please answer this question with a proper fix, and I'll accept your answer.
