如何在dockerfile中没有CMD或ENTRYPOINT的情况下在启动时运行进程？

Question

Here's some example dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt-get install xvfb

CMD Xvfb :0 -ac # <-- I need this to run on start up, no as CMD

CMD node programThatNeedsXvfbRunning.js

I need Xvfb :0 -ac to be running inside the image by default, so that I can do docker run my-container someCustomCmdThatRequiresXvfbrunning

I know I could do Xvfb :0 -ac & node myapp but that seems stupid to have to do this every time.

Answer 1

Try this Dockerfile :

FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt-get install xvfb

ENTRYPOINT [ "Xvfb", ":0", "-ac" ]

Then run it as:

docker run <image> cmd1 cmd2

This should behave as if you ran:

Xvfb :0 -ac cmd1 cmd2

Is this what you want?
