alpine

I am having a nasty time running a non-root crontab file on Alpine Linux. I've been through two other cron related posts and I don't have an answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/23009/why-crontab-scripts-are-not-working https://serverfault.com/questions/449651/why-is-my-crontab-not-working-and-how-can-i-troubleshoot-it Here is the setup. My crontab looks like this: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/aws/bin:/home/ec2-user/bin SHELL=/bin/bash * * * * * /opt/monitor/monitor.sh >> /var/log/monitor.log 2>&1 0 3 * * * /opt/monitor/monitor-log-clean.sh >> /var

I am trying to install OCI8 extension on my Alpine Linux Docker environment. Although there are several places saying it won't work, there are some which say it actually does. I have a 3.4 version and for corporate reasons it is staying like that for now. I have done this within my Docker conf: # Install Oracle Client and build OCI8 (Oracel Command Interface 8 - PHP extension) USER root ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/instantclient ENV ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/instantclient RUN apk update && apk upgrade RUN apk add musl-dev libaio autoconf && apk add --update make ## Unzip Instant Client v12 RUN

I have this small Dockerfile FROM alpine:3.3 RUN apk --update add python CMD ["python", "-c", "import urllib2; response = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.python.org')"] Building it with docker build -t alpine-py/01 . and then running it with docker run -it --rm alpine-py/01 creates the following output Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 431, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py",

Like for example if I use command docker run -it alpine /bin/sh it starts a terminal after which I can install packages and all. Now when I use exit command it goes back to the terminal. (main one) So how can I access the same container again? When I run that command again, I get a fresh alpine. Please help The container lives as long as the specified run command process is still running. When you specify to run /bin/sh , once you exit, the sh process will die and so will you container. If you want to keep your container running, you have to keep the process inside running. For your case (I am

I am building a new Docker image with: FROM alpine:3.4 RUN apk upgrade --update However, its failing with the error: [INFO] /bin/sh: apk: not found This seems to work fine on my local machine (Mac OSX) but when I try building it on a Linux CentOS 7 machine it fails. In the end we upgraded our projects to use this Docker Maven plugin: https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8-maven-plugin . No issue thus far. I ran into something like this. It completely blew my mind, and I was questioning my sanity for a bit until I realized that /sbin wasn't in my container's path (completely my fault: this was a
