Raspberry PI docker container not starting

Question

I built docker image as per https://github.com/hypriot/rpi-node using command ./build.sh .

After build can see the images :

Attempting to run an image using 6.10.0 : sudo docker run hypriot/rpi-node:6.10.0 does not return any output but the container is not running as executing docker ps returns empty response.

How to start rpi-node docker container ?

Update :

this appears to fix : sudo docker run -dti hypriot/rpi-node:6.10.0 tail -f /dev/null

Source : Docker container will automatically stop after "docker run -d"

Answer 1

It would appear as if the images have a default CMD of node according to https://github.com/hypriot/rpi-node/blob/master/6.10/Dockerfile#L94. Just running the image would try to execute node. This would normally run the Node.js REPL. But it would require an interactive terminal.

Try running as sudo docker run -it hypriot/rpi-node:6.10.0 instead to set interactive mode and a TTY.
