I am new to docker, so bear with me on this.
I have a app.py file, which simply uses apscheduler to print a sentence on the console. I have followed the structure from the official guide for the python file. When I run the file on my console, it runs as expected. (prints the Tick statement every 10 seconds.)
Now, I want to dockerize it and upload the image to dockerhub. I followed the docker documentations and this is how my DockerFile looks like:
FROM python:3
COPY requirements.txt .
COPY app.py .
RUN pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org -r requirements.txt
CMD [ "python", "app.py" ]
I have listed the module names in requirements.txt as below:
datetime
apscheduler
The folder is flat. app.py and requirements.txt are in the same level in the directory.
|
|- app.py
|- requirements.txt
I use below commands to build the docker image:
docker build . -t app1:ver3
The docker image builds successfully and shows up when I do
docker images
Problem is, when I run the docker image with
docker run app1:ver3
the image does not show any output.
In fact the image shows as listed when I do docker ps - which is expected but the run command should show me print statements on the console every 10 seconds.
There are two things here
You need to use docker run -it app1:ver3
-i: Interactive mode
-t: Enable TTY
I believe just -t also may do the job. See the link below for details
