About the Systemd

January 18, 2025 · 2 min read

It has been a long time since the linux used init to manage the startup process, such as sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start or service apache2 start, but the init is serial. To address this issue, the systemd was born. The d is the abbreviation of daemon, which means the systemd is a daemon manager. The systemd substitutes the initd and becomes the default main process PID 1.

The Tips About Dockerfile

January 18, 2025 · 3 min read

Normally, we often write a Dockerfile in the current directory.

• The Dockerfile is a configuration file that describes how to build the image. You can refer to the official documentation^[1] for more details.
• If you list more than one CMD, only the last one takes effect. So if you have multiple commands to run, you better write them in a script file.
• Docker is not the VMware, there is no systemd in the container. Its startup program is the container application process. The container exists for the main process. Once the main process exits, the container loses its meaning of existence and thus exits. So when you execute multiple commands and if they are blocking, you better write the previous commands in nohup and the last command in the blocking command. (never use the command such as CMD service nginx start, the CMD only will execute as CMD [ "sh", "-c", "service nginx start"], when the sh is executed, the container will exit, the correct way is run it directly CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"])
