为什么在基于阿尔卑斯的docker-compose构建中找不到bin / sh？

Question

I am building a docker stack based on alpine. Given my:

php7-dockerfile :

FROM php:7-fpm-alpine
RUN apk update && \\
    apk upgrade && \\
    apk add --update autoconf gcc

and docker-compose.yml :

version: "2"

services:
    php:
        build:
            context: .
            dockerfile: php7-dockerfile
        container_name: test_php
        volumes_from:
            - data

On running docker-compose build I am getting:

Building data

/bin/sh:  : not found
ERROR: Service 'php' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c apk update && \    apk upgrade && \    apk add --update autoconf gcc' returned a non-zero code: 127

I am confused as to why it uses /bin/sh and why it is not found, as in my existing running container I can run

$ docker exec -it test_php /bin/sh
/var/www/html #

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In order to use a newline on a combined RUN command, don't use \\\\ but \\ .

RUN apk update && \
    apk upgrade && \
    apk add --update autoconf gcc

The error message is misleading in this case.
