Docker container run, container removed before it is started

Question

Hi,

I'm using a Docker task in a Bamboo (7.0.2) plan and running the "run a docker container" option.

It looks like my container is either taking too long for Bamboo to see it as a succesful start or maybe no proper return code (?) because the container is removed straight after the execution of the plan.

I tried to introduce a "wait for service" but I don't really have something to check against so even though the container is then started correctly, the plan will still fail and remove the container.

When I just use a script task and execute the same run, all is fine. This looks like a shortcoming in the Docker tasks.

I would like to use the out of the box tooling so if anyone has a suggestion, it's very welcome! Otherwise I'll stick to a script task.

Regards,

Kamiel.

Thanks for your answer, that's what I'm doing now. Still would be nice to have the plugin working properly, else why even bother making plugins? I could just script everything.

I suggest that you stick to script task because it is under your control and transparent whereas docker task is a black box. In case something goes wrong, there is no hint for the reason of the failure.
