Docker-Compose with multiple services

Question

THIS IS A SAMPLE QUESTION! NEVER DO IT IN PRODUCTION. RUN NGINX / PHP / OTHER SERVICES IN SEPARATE CONTAINERS!

When I start docker-compose up the Ubuntu container exits with ubuntu exited with code 0.

When I run docker run -d -ti -p 80:80 -v ~/sph/laravel52:/www/laravel ubuntu, all works fine.

How can I replicate this behavior using Docker Compose?

This is my Dockerfile:

# Version: 0.0.1
FROM ubuntu:15.04



ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

#INSTALL ALL
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y  \
       nano \
       php5-fpm \
       php5-mysql \
       nginx



#NGINX CONF
ADD nginx/sites-available/laravel.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/
RUN rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
RUN mv /etc/nginx/sites-available/laravel.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

VOLUME /www


ENTRYPOINT nginx && service php5-fpm start && /bin/bash

CMD ["true"]


EXPOSE 80

And docker-compose.yml:

version: '2'
services:
  ubuntu:
        build: .
        container_name: ubuntu
        volumes:
            - ~/sph/laravel52:/www/laravel
        ports:
          - "80:80"

Answer 1

The thing is that you are using the option -t when running your container.

Could you check if enabling the tty option (see reference) in your docker-compose.yml file the container keeps running?

version: '2'
services:
  ubuntu:
        build: .
        container_name: ubuntu
        volumes:
            - ~/sph/laravel52:/www/laravel
        ports:
          - "80:80"
        tty: true
