I have written a Qt application which logs to console via qDebug(). When run inside a docker container, the application logs are visible as normal. But when the same docker image is run via docker-compose up, there is no output visible at all. How does this come?
Edit:
The output is not visible either, if I try to view it via docker logs in the following way:
docker run -d --rm -name test test-image
docker logs test
Working:
docker run -it --rm test-image
I finally found a solution. My docker run was missing the -t flag:
docker run -it --rm -t test-image
The equivalent option for the docker-compose config is:
tty: true
Hope this is helpfull to someone.

I'm working on a read the docs documentation where I use docker. To customize it, I d like to share the css folder between the container and host, in order to avoid building always a new image to see the changes. The goal is, that I can just refresh the browser and see the changes.
I tried something like this, but it doesn't work:
docker run -v ~/docs/source/_static/css:/docs/source/_static/css -p 80:80 -it my-docu:latest
What is wrong in this command?
The path of the folder I'd like to share is:
Documents/my-documentation/docs/source/_static/css
Thanks for your help!
I'm guessing that the ~ does not resolve correctly. The tilde character ("~") refers to the home directory of your user; usually something like /home/your_username.
In your case, it sounds like your document isn't in this directory anyway.
Try:
docker run -v Documents/my-documentation/docs/source/_static/css:/docs/source/_static/css -p 80:80 -it my-docu:latest
I have no mac to test with, but I suspect the command should be as below (Documents is a subfolder to inside your home directory denoted by ~)
docker run -v ~/Documents/my-documentation/docs/source/_static/css:/docs/source/_static/css -p 80:80 -it my-docu:latest
In your OP you mount the host folder ~/docs/source/_static/css, which does not make sense if your files are in Documents/my-documentation/docs/source/_static/css as that would correspond to ~/Documents/my-documentation/docs/source/_static/css
Keep in mind that Docker is still running inside a VM on Mac, so you will need to give a host path that is valid on that VM
What you can do to get a better view of the situation is to start an interactive container where you mount the root file system of the host vm root into /mnt/vm-root. That way you can see what paths are available to mount and how they should be formatted when you pass them using the -v flag to the docker run command
docker run --rm -it -w /mnt/vm-root -v /:/mnt/vm-root ubuntu:latest bash
Well, I'm new at Docker and I need to implement a Shiny app in a Docker Container.
I have the image from https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/shiny/, that includes Shiny Server, but I don't know how to deploy my app in the server.
I want to deploy the app in the server, install the required packages for my app into the Docker, save the changes and export the image/container.
As I said, I'm new at Docker and I don't know how it really works.
Any idea?
I guess you should start by creating a Dockerfile in a specific folder which would look like something like this :
FROM rocker/shiny:latest
RUN echo 'install.packages(c("package1","package2", ...), \
repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org", \
dependencies=TRUE)' > /tmp/packages.R \
&& Rscript /tmp/packages.R
EXPOSE 3838
CMD ["/usr/bin/shiny-server.sh"]
Then go into this folder and build your image, giving it a name by using this command :
docker build -t your-tag .
Finally, once your image is built you can create a container, and if you don't forget to map the volume and the port, you should be able to find it at localhost:3838 with the following command launched from the folder containing the srv folder :
docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 -v $PWD/srv/shinyapps/:/srv/shiny-server/ -v $PWD/srv/shinylog/:/var/log/shiny-server/ your-tag
As said in the Docker documentation at the following address https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/shiny/, you might want to launch it in detached mode with -d option and map it with your host's port 80 for a real deployment.
The link(https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/shiny/) covers how to deploy the shiny server.
Simplest way would be:
docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 rocker/shiny
If you want to extend shiny server, you can write your own Dockerfile and start with shiny image as base image.(https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/)
Dockerfile:
FROM rocker/shiny:latest
I'm a Docker newbie and I'm trying to setup my first project.
To test how to play with it, I just cloned one ready-to-go project and I setup it (Project repo).
As the guide claims if I access a specific url, I reach the homepage. To be more specific a symfony start page.
Moreover with this command
docker run -i -t testdocker_application /bin/bash
I'm able to login to the container.
My problem is if I try to go to the application folder through bash, the folder that I shared with my host is empty.
I tried with another project, but the result is the same.
Where I'm wrong?
Here some infos about my env:
Ubuntu 12.04
Docker version 1.8.3, build f4bf5c7
Config:
application:
build: code
volumes:
- ./symfony:/var/www/symfony
- ./logs/symfony:/var/www/symfony/app/logs
tty: true
Looks like you have a docker-compose.yml file but are running the image with docker. You don't actually need docker-compose to start a single container. If you just want to start the container your command should look like this:
docker run -ti -v $(pwd)/symfony:/var/www/symfony -v $(pwd)/logs/symfony:/var/www/symfony/app/logs testdocker_application /bin/bash
To use your docker-compose.yml start your container with docker-compose up. You would also need to add the following to drop into a shell.
stdin_open: true
command: /bin/bash
I want to have some control over the official nginx image, so I wrote my own Dockerfile that adds some extra funtionality to it.
The file has the following contents:
FROM nginx
RUN mkdir /var/www/html
COPY nginx/config/global.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/
COPY nginx/config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
When I build this image and create a container of the image using this command:
docker run -it -d -v ~/Projects/test-website:/var/www/html --name test-nginx my-nginx
It will exit instantly. I can't access the log files as well. What could be the issue? I've copied the Dockerfile of the official nginx image and this does the same thing.
So I didn't know about the docker ps -a; docker logs <last container id> command. I executed this and it seemed I had a duplicated daemon off; command.
Thanks for the help guys ;)!
I am a bit new to docker and I have been trying to run deploy a meteor container with my meteor application. I have been using the dockerfile and instructions from https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/golden/meteor-dev/
However, I cant run docker run -p 3000:3000 -t -i -v /path/to/meteor/app:/opt/application -w /opt/application meteor-dev because my docker (version 0.5.3) does not recognize the flag (-w) to set the working directory.
Is there some workaround to set the working directory with docker 0.5.3? The work directory is already set in the docker file, but I guess I need to set it again when I run the container.
well, my workaround was to create a bash script that would go to the working directory and call the commands one by one. I created the bash script where my source is located "/path/to/meteor/app" and call docker run -p 3000:3000 -t -i -v /path/to/meteor/app:/opt/application meteor-dev bash /opt/application/start.sh with the bash as command and my script as argument
