docker web application image needs keep running - docker

I've found similar questions but didn't find the answers helpful, so I'm putting my question here. I have a Dockerfile:
FROM websphere-liberty
COPY server.xml /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/
COPY jfpetc /opt/jfpetc/
ADD wasapp.ear /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/
ENV LICENSE accept
EXPOSE 80 9080 9448 9443 9060
I then build the image and try to run it with the command:
docker run -d -p 9080:9080 -p 9443:9443 wasapp
Then docker ps doesn't show anything running, and docker ps -a shows it exited. Which command can keep this web application running so I can access the login page?

try this :
docker run -it -d -p 9080:9080 -p 9443:9443 wasapp

403 with nginx for file located in binded volume with docker

I am trying to use my nginx server on docker but I cannot use the files / folder if they belong to my volume. Problem, the goal of my test is to keep a volume between the file in my computer and the container.
I have searched during 3 days and tried a lot of solution but no effects...( useradd, chmod, chown, www_data, etc.....)
I don't understand how is it possible to use ngnix, a volume and docker?
The only solution actually for me is to copy the folder of my volume in another folder, and so I can chown the folder and use NGIX. There is no official solution on the web and I am surprised because for me using docker with a volume binded with his container would be the basic for a daily work.
If someone has managed to implement it, I would be very happy if you could share you code. I need to understand what I am missing.
FYI I am working with a VM.
Thanks !
I think you are not passing the right path in the volume option. There are a few ways to do it, you can pass the full path or you can use the $(pwd) if you are using a Linux machine. Let's say you are on /home/my-user/code/nginx/ and your HTML files are on html folder.
You can use:
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v /home/my-user/code/nginx/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
or
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v ~/code/nginx/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
or
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v $(pwd)/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
I've created an index.html file inside the html folder, after the docker run, I was able to open it:
$ echo "hello world" >> html/index.html
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v $(pwd)/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
$ curl localhost:8080
hello world
You can also create a Dockerfile, but you would need to use COPY command. I'll give a simple example that's working, but you should improve this by using a version and etc..
Dockerfile:
FROM nginx
COPY ./html /usr/share/nginx/html
...
$ docker build -t my-nginx:0.0.1 .
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 my-nginx:0.0.1
$ curl localhost:8080
hello world
You can also use docker-compose. By the way, those examples are just to give you some idea of how it works.

How to properly expose/publish ports for a WebUI-based application in Docker?

I'm trying to port this webapp to Docker. I wrote the following Dockerfile:
FROM anapsix/alpine-java
MAINTAINER <name>
COPY aard2-web-0.7-java6.jar /home/aard2-web-0.7-java6.jar
COPY start.sh /home/start.sh
CMD ["bash", "/home/start.sh"]
EXPOSE 8013/tcp
Here are the contents of start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
java -Dslobber.browse=true -jar /home/aard2-web-0.7-java6.jar /home/dicts/*.slob
Then I built the image:
docker build -t aard2-docker .
And I used the following command to run the container:
docker run --name Aard2 -p 127.0.0.1:8013:8013 -v /home/<name>/dicts:/home/dicts aard2-docker
The app is running normally, prompting that it's listening at http://127.0.0.1:8013. However, I opened the address only to find that I couldn't connect to the app.
I tried using the EXPOSE command (as shown in the Dockerfile snippet above) and variants of the -p flag, such as -p 127.0.0.1:8013:8013, -p 8013:8013, -p 8013:8013/tcp, but none of them worked.
How can I expose/publish the port to 127.0.0.1 properly? Thanks!
Here's the response from the original author:
you need to tell the server to listen on all network interfaces instead of localhost - that is you are missing -Dslobber.host=0.0.0.0
this works for me:
FROM anapsix/alpine-java
COPY ./build/libs/aard2-web-0.7.jar /home/aard2-web-0.7.jar
CMD ["bash", "-c", "java -Dslobber.host=0.0.0.0 -jar /home/aard2-web-0.7.jar /dicts/*.slob"]
EXPOSE 8013/tcp
and then run like this:
docker run -v $HOME/Downloads:/dicts -p 8013:8013 --rm aard2-web
-Dslobber.browse=true opens default browser, I don't think this has any effect in docker so don't need that.

why do i keep seeing nginx index.html on localhost when i run my docker image

I installed and run nginx on my linux machine to understand the configurations etc. After a while i decided to remove it safely by following this thread in order to use it in docker
By following this documentaion i run this command
sudo docker run --name ngix -d -p 8080:80 pillalexakis/myrestapi:01
And i saw ngix's homepage at localhost
Then i deleted all ngix images & stopped all containers and i also run this command
sudo docker system prune -a
But now restarted my service by this command
sudo docker run -p 192.168.2.9:7777:8085 phillalexakis/myfirstapi:01 and i keep seeing at localhost ngix index.html
How can i totally remove it ?
Note: I'm new with docker and i might have missed a lot of things. Let me know what extra docker commands should i run in order provide better information.
Assuming your host have been preparing as below
your files (index.html, js, etc) under folder - /myhost/nginx/html
your nginx configuration - /myhost/nginx/nginx.conf
Solution
map your files (call volume) on the fly from outside docker image via docker cli
This is the command
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web \
-v /myhost/nginx/html:/usr/share/nginx/html \
-v /myhost/nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
nginx
copy your files into docker image by build your own docker image via Dockerfile
This is your Dockerfile under /myhost/nginx
FROM nginx:latest
COPY ./html/index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
This is the command to build your docker image
cd /myhost/nginx
docker build -t pillalexakis/nginx .
This is the command to run your docker image
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web \
pillalexakis/nginx

Expose application that runs under a docker container

I'm trying to expose a nodejs application that runs under a docker
docker run -p 3005:3005 -p 5858:5858 -i -t -v /usuarios centos-nodejs:1.0 /bin/bash
after that command, I access my application
cd usuarios
node index
and then the application is running inside the docker container.
How can I expose a port to access in my browser something like localhost:5858/my_api_here
It seems a nodejs application is bound to localhost:5858 only inside a container. That's why you cannot access it via 127.0.0.1:5858 from the host. You need to find a way to bind it to 0.0.0.0:5858. After that you can access it on 127.0.0.1:5858 from the host.
Following the command below, it works
docker run -p 3005:3005 -p 5858:5858 -i -t -v C:\Users\lgermano\Documents
\Repositorios:/opt/rede/workspace centos-nodejs:1.0 /bin/bash

How to use docker container as apache server?

I just started using docker and followed following tutorial: https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/using_supervisord/
FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
RUN apt-get install -y openssh-server apache2 supervisor
RUN mkdir -p /var/lock/apache2 /var/run/apache2 /var/run/sshd /var/log/supervisor
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf
EXPOSE 22 80
CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]
and
[supervisord]
nodaemon=true
[program:sshd]
command=/usr/sbin/sshd -D
[program:apache2]
command=/bin/bash -c "source /etc/apache2/envvars && exec /usr/sbin/apache2 -DFOREGROUND"
Build and run:
sudo docker build -t <yourname>/supervisord .
sudo docker run -p 22 -p 80 -t -i <yourname>/supervisord
My question is, when docker runs on my server with IP http://88.xxx.x.xxx/, how can I access the apache localhost running inside the docker container from the browser on my computer? I would like to use a docker container as a web server.
You will have to use port forwarding to be able to access your docker container from the outside world.
From the Docker docs:
By default Docker containers can make connections to the outside world, but the outside world cannot connect to containers.
But if you want containers to accept incoming connections, you will need to provide special options when invoking docker run.
So, what does this mean? You will have to specify a port on your host machine (typically port 80) and forward all connections on that port to the docker container. Since you are running Apache in your docker container you probably want to forward the connection to port 80 on the docker container as well.
This is best done via the -p option for the docker run command.
sudo docker run -p 80:80 -t -i <yourname>/supervisord
The part of the command that says -p 80:80 means that you forward port 80 from the host to port 80 on the container.
When this is set up correctly you can use a browser to surf onto http://88.x.x.x and the connection will be forwarded to the container as intended.
The Docker docs describes the -p option thoroughly. There are a few ways of specifying the flag:
# Maps the provided host_port to the container_port but only
# binds to the specific external interface
-p IP:host_port:container_port
# Maps the provided host_port to the container_port for all
# external interfaces (all IP:s)
-p host_port:container_port
Edit: When this question was originally posted there was no official docker container for the Apache web server. Now, an existing version exists.
The simplest way to get Apache up and running is to use the official Docker container. You can start it by using the following command:
$ docker run -p 80:80 -dit --name my-app -v "$PWD":/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd:2.4
This way you simply mount a folder on your file system so that it is available in the docker container and your host port is forwarded to the container port as described above.
There is an official image for apache. The image documentation contains instructions in how you can use this official images as a base for a custom image.
To see how it's done take a peek at the Dockerfile used by the official image:
https://github.com/docker-library/httpd/blob/master/2.4/Dockerfile
Example
Ensure files are accessible to root
sudo chown -R root:root /path/to/html_files
Host these files using official docker image
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name apache -v /path/to/html_files:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd:2.4
Files are accessible on port 80.
