Docker container can not run as a daemon

Question

I am following Docker's docs to understand how Docker works.

But i meet a problem in that Doc,

The say that when this command is run:

$ docker run -d ubuntu:14.04 /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"

a daemon is started because of the -d flag.

But when checking the running container with the docker ps command, it is empty, with just titles:

CONTAINER ID  IMAGE         COMMAND               CREATED        STATUS       PORTS NAMES

Using the docker ps -a command to watch all containers I see this:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                     PORTS               NAMES
e7f1bebd5a49        ubuntu:14.04        "/bin/sh -c while tru"   6 minutes ago       Exited (2) 4 minutes ago                       cranky_mcclintock

It exits with error code 2. Watching the log:

docker logs e7f1bebd5a49
true;: 1: true;: Syntax error: end of file unexpected

Why is this happening? I am running Docker in Windows 10 (using the Docker Quickstart Terminal).

This is part of my docker info:

Here is the docker events after docker run

$ docker run -d ubuntu:14.04 /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"

Answer 1

When using VirtualBox's console everything works. It only fails in Windows's console (using the Docker Quickstart Terminal).

I think the underlying problem is with the end-of-line code character (\n,\r or \r\n).
