Running Ubuntu Docker container as a Marathon App keeps restarting


Hi I'm trying to run ubuntu docker inside a marathon app and this is my service configuration:

{
"id": "/h",
"backoffFactor": 1.15,
"backoffSeconds": 1,
"container": {
    "type": "DOCKER",
    "volumes": [],
    "docker": {
        "image": "ubuntu",
        "forcePullImage": false,
        "privileged": true,
        "parameters": [{
                "key": "detach",
                "value": "true"
            },
            {
                "key": "tty",
                "value": "true"
            },
            {
                "key": "interactive",
                "value": "true"
            }
        ]
    }
},
"cpus": 1,
"disk": 10000,
"instances": 0,
"maxLaunchDelaySeconds": 3600,
"mem": 1028,
"gpus": 0,
"networks": [{
    "mode": "host"
}],
"portDefinitions": [],
"requirePorts": false,
"upgradeStrategy": {
    "maximumOverCapacity": 1,
    "minimumHealthCapacity": 1
},
"killSelection": "YOUNGEST_FIRST",
"unreachableStrategy": {
    "inactiveAfterSeconds": 0,
    "expungeAfterSeconds": 0
},
"healthChecks": [],
"fetch": [],
"constraints": []

}

I try to set --detach and --tty options to run ubuntu container in the background and keep it alive and one more thing i tried is "cmd": "-sleep 1000000000" but just after starting, task keeps finishing and starting another task in less than one second! How can I start docker container and keep it running in the background?


Solution

  • Try below marathon config :

    {
      "id": "/test-ubuntu",
      "backoffFactor": 1.15,
      "backoffSeconds": 1,
      "cmd": "tail -f /dev/null",
      "container": {
        "type": "DOCKER",
        "volumes": [],
        "docker": {
          "image": "ubuntu",
          "forcePullImage": false,
          "privileged": true,
          "parameters": []
        }
      },
      "cpus": 1,
      "disk": 10000,
      "instances": 1,
      "maxLaunchDelaySeconds": 3600,
      "mem": 1028,
      "gpus": 0,
      "networks": [
        {
          "mode": "host"
        }
      ],
      "portDefinitions": [],
      "requirePorts": false,
      "upgradeStrategy": {
        "maximumOverCapacity": 1,
        "minimumHealthCapacity": 1
      },
      "killSelection": "YOUNGEST_FIRST",
      "unreachableStrategy": {
        "inactiveAfterSeconds": 0,
        "expungeAfterSeconds": 0
      },
      "healthChecks": [],
      "fetch": [],
      "constraints": []
    }
    

    Docker container requires entrypoint which will run in foreground. Try below cmd :

        "cmd": "tail -f /dev/null"
