Prevent apache2 / http2 from running as daemon for Docker container?

I have this at the end of Dockerfile:

ENTRYPOINT service apache2 start

I get this logged:

 * Starting Apache httpd web server apache2

and then my container will exit – it shouldn’t be an error, I just think the container exits because the process is a daemon. Is there a way to keep it open?

    So I can keep the container alive with:

    ENTRYPOINT service apache2 restart && /bin/bash -c "trap : TERM INT; sleep infinity & wait"

    but I don’t know how to get the stdout/stderr from Apache to stdout/stderr of the Docker container, anybody know? I can confirm apache is running if I keep the container alive.

    I found this example too:

    CMD ["-D", "FOREGROUND"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/httpd"]

    but I can’t find the path to my apache2 executable.

    So this should be the correct answer:

    CMD ["-D", "FOREGROUND"]
ENTRYPOINT ["apachectl"]

    that is, if you installed apache with:

    RUN apt-get install -y apache2
