docker-compose up is starting the container and immediately stopping them

Question

I am trying to build services using docker-compose but containers started using docker-compose is stopping immediately as compose script is over. But when i am creating containe

Answer 1

If you use bash as the command, but without a terminal, it will exit immediately. This is because when bash starts up, if there is no terminal attached, and it has no script or other command to execute, it has nothing to do, so it exits (by design).

You can either use a different command, or attach a terminal with tty: true as part of the definition of this service.

services:
  composetestdb:
    tty: true
    ...

Answer 2

I have the same problem, but tty : true doesn't resolve the problem for me.

This is my docker-compose file :

---
version: "3"
services :
  data:
    container_name: data
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=0283
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - "./database:/var/lib/mysql"
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
  mail:
    container_name: mail
    image: djfarrelly/maildev
    ports:
      - "1080:80"
      - "1025:25"
  web:
    container_name: web
    image: "web:php7.1a"
    links:
      - mail
      - data
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - "./www:/var/www/html"
    working_dir : /var/www/html
    tty: true
    command:
      echo "test"
      #bash -c "php composer.phar self-update"

After command, Docker return me : "the container is exited (0)" If I comment these lines, the container starts fine.
