Unable to run mongo container with replica set using docker-compose

Question

Here\'s my docker-compose file:

version: \'3\'
services:

  mongo:
    hostname: mongo
    container_name: search_mongo
    image: mongo:latest
    volumes:
             


        

Answer 1

If your last command at the script will never exit (i.e. stop running), your container keeps running. So, while (true);do sleep 1; done is one fix.

If you want to have solution where you can close container when wanted, you can use something like

while (! test -e /tmp/stop); do sleep 1; done; rm /tmp/stop

So, when you say at command line touch /tmp/stop, it will stop that loop what keeps container running.
