Docker ASP.NET 5 beta4 kestrel doesn't keep in running state

[shrutikamendhe]

My requirement is to define a bash script file as an ENTRYPOINT for docker container instead of dnx command. I have created one bash script file and starting kestrel engine from this file. Below is code of startup bash script file...

#!/bin/bash
exec dnx . kestrel

I have verified that, when I am running startup bash file from inside container, the kestrel is started but when I am hit enter or any key the server stopped. The dnx . kestrel command runs and exit without waiting for terminate signal.

Hi, that's a known issue in dnx at the moment.

Please check these other reports of the problem and the workarounds suggested:

• Container exits after starting / Sample docker file #58
• Sample app not working #67 (comment)
• container always exits itself when it is started #61

I'm not sure if this is fixed in 1.0.0-beta5 but we'll be pushing the beta5 image out soon.

Thanks Ahmet, my container is running now and kestrel is also in running state :)
