在Docker中运行多个python进程

Question

I am new to docker, trying to run multiple python processes in docker. Though it's not recommended, however, it should work as suggested here " https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/multi-service_container/ "

My Dockerfile :

FROM custom_image
MAINTAINER Shubham 
RUN apt-get update -y
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash"]
CMD ["start.sh"]

start.sh :

nohup python flask-app.py &
nohup python sink.py &
nohup python faceConsumer.py &
nohup python classifierConsumer.py &
nohup python demo.py &
echo lastLine

run command :

docker run --runtime=nvidia -p 5000:5000 out_image

• the same shell script worked when I go to terminal and run.
• tried without nohup, didn't work.
• tried python subprocess also to start other python processes, didn't work.

Is it possible to run multiple processes without supervisord or docker-compose?

update: not getting any error, only "lastLine" is getting printed and docker container exits.

Answer 1

Docker docs has examples of how to do this. If you're using Python, then using supervisord is a good option.

FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y supervisor
RUN mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf
COPY my_first_process my_first_process
COPY my_second_process my_second_process
CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]

The advantage of this over running a bunch of background processes is you get better job control and processes that exit prematurely will be restarted.

Answer 2

Your problem is putting everything in background. Your container starts, executes all commands and then exits when CMD process finishes - despite background processes running. Docker does not know that.

You could try running everything else in background but then

python demo.py

as it is. This would cause the process to stay alive assuming demo.py does not exit.

Answer 3

您也可以在分离模式下运行或将nohup重定向到log / nohup.out，因为默认的docker通过套接字运行命令，重定向不会发生。
