aerospike: unrecognized service in Docker container?

Aerospike server not starting in docker container.

installed aerospike in docker container but while trying to start service, it shows 

aerospike: unrecognized service

I have used this command to start service,

service aerospike start

Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -q -y curl python2.7 python
RUN TEMPDIR=$(mktemp -d) && \
    cd $TEMPDIR && \
    curl -L 'aerospike.com/download/server/latest/artifact/ubuntu18' | tar xzv --strip-components 1 && \
    ./asinstall
Solution

  • There is not such service like aerospike in your container:

    root@6dc95b33962b:/# service --status-all
 [ ? ]  hwclock.sh
 [ - ]  procps

    You installed aerospike-server-community package and as you can see this version is prepared for systemd.

    root@eb4b937d4d45:/tmp/tmp.MIlx6iwhpg# dpkg -L  aerospike-server-community
