The error I get is this:

    /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: /docker-entrypoint.d/ is not empty, launching Unit daemon to perform initial configuration... 2022/08/31 17:30:45

I am not sure why is NGINX Unit running in unprivileged mode? Is there a way to make it run priviliged

I believe it is failing at this line: CMD ["sudo", "unitd", "--no-daemon", "--control", "unix:/var/run/control.unit.sock"]

This docker file script is taken directly from NGINX UNIT docker script: https://github.com/nginx/unit/blob/master/pkg/docker/Dockerfile.node16

  • Is there any special use case why you are not just using 1.27.0-node16 as a new base image for your apps and add your layers (app, expose,etc) on top of it? I would recomand this as we are updating the Dockerfiles and with the NGINX Image as a base you will automatically get the updates. – – Timo Stark Sep 01 '22 at 09:46

You have a commented FROM line which therefor never executes:

    #FROM nginx/unit:1.27.0-node16

as a consequence, everything that follows is part of the same stage. And because of this your last CMD line:

    CMD ["unitd", "--no-daemon", "--control", "unix:/var/run/control.unit.sock", "--log", "/usr/app/unit.log"]

will overwrite the previous one:

    CMD ["sudo", "unitd", "--no-daemon", "--control", "unix:/var/run/control.unit.sock"]

So the one with sudo is actually never executed.

If you fix this situation somehow, I think it will work. Either add sudo to the last CMD or just delete it.

  • the issue is with this error: Unit is running unprivileged, then it cannot use arbitrary user and group. somehow it does not work when it is running unprivileged. Not sure how to solve it. – Anthony Shivakumar Sep 01 '22 at 03:34
  • I just gave you the solution... did you try it? – Mihai Sep 01 '22 at 03:41
