My device keeps building after a successful build (unicorn) on the resin systems and downloading the image on the device. I’m working with this buildscript (dockerfile.template)

CMD ["bin/edge -debug"]

Any idea what would be wrong?

#4

You are setting an ENTRYPOINT, which

a) overwrites the resin-provided ENTRYPOINT
b) that probably runs the build, as the ENTRYPOINT + CMD might not be okay together

That CMD is not correct that way, as much as I know. It should be either

CMD bin/edge -debug

or

CMD ["bin/edge", "-debug"]

(notice the comma; here’s the Dockerfile CMD docs)

What is the actual command you have to run on start? The edge binary? Because then don’t define ENTRYPOINT for sure (and it’s generally recommended not to, on resin with resin base images).

#5

I have to execute:

cd dist
bin/edge -debug

Can I work with:

WORKDIR $GOPATH/src/github.com/streamsets/dist
CMD bin/edge -debug
#6

Yes, it would work, I think. The point about the syntax was, that ["bin/edge -debug"] and ["bin/edge", "-debug"] is not the same, as the shell interprets every item together as one argument, and the first one is actually not a single argument, and thus evoked, it won’t behave properly. The second there is the proper form. On the other hand, just calling CMD bin/edge -debug would clear away the uncertainties (see more in the linked docs).

#7

The ENTRYPOINT entry was the problem, thanks!
