I have a Docker installation that I would like to start with docker compose up
(and not have to run 2 extra ttys ) so I added a Procfile.dev looking like this
web: bin/rails server -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'
js: yarn build_js --watch
css: yarn build_css --watch
The output is, however, less than enjoyable
√ mindling % docker compose up

I’ve tried running a Bash in the application container – and calling the Procfile in a tty by itself looks more or less like this:

What is going on? It works when doing it ‘by hand’ but if I let docker-compose rip the processes somehow terminates!?!
I have isolated the issue to the build_css
script in package.json (or at least it does keep going if I comment that line in the Procfile.dev)
All the ‘dirty linen’
My package.json looks like this
{
...8<...
"scripts": {
"build_js": "esbuild app/javascript/*.* --bundle --outdir=app/assets/builds",
"build_css": "tailwindcss -i ./app/assets/stylesheets/application.tailwind.css -o ./app/assets/builds/application.css"
},
...8<...
}
My containers are exceptionally boring, looking like almost everybody else’s:
FROM ruby:3.0.3
RUN curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
RUN echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs yarn
WORKDIR /app
COPY src/Gemfile /app/Gemfile
COPY src/Gemfile.lock /app/Gemfile.lock
RUN gem install bundler foreman && bundle install
EXPOSE 3000
ENTRYPOINT [ "entrypoint.sh" ]
version: "3.9"
db:
build: mysql
image: mindling_db
container_name: mindling_db
command: [ "--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password" ]

MYSQL_DATABASE: mindling_development
mindling:
platform: linux/x86_64
build: .
volumes:

ports:

depends_on:

and finally my entrypoint.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
rm -rf /app/tmp/pids/server.pid
foreman start -f Procfile.dev

Allow me to give credit to they who deserve it!! The correct answer was provided by earlopain in this issue on rails/rails
It's actually an almost embarrassingly easy fix - once you know it :)
Add tty: true to your docker-compose.yml - like this
Thanks Earlopain & @walt_die, you saved my day. Writing this answer because I had a bit of explanation which didn’t fit in the comment.
Just like yours, when trying to run
rails
indocker
usingdocker-compose
the problem I was facing was thatCMD bin/dev
indockerfile
was constantly crashing, although it worked when ran manually via bash.The issue was not with
tailwindcss
butesbuild
instead. This linejs: yarn build --watch
inProcfile.dev
was failing because it runsesbuild app/javascript/*.* --bundle --sourcemap --outdir=app/assets/builds --public-path=assets
under the hood, and as mentioned by evanw in esbuild issue esbuild exits when stdin is closed.So, the solution of adding
tty: true
todocker-compose.yml
as above works.Alternatively, one can also remove/comment out this line
js: yarn build --watch
fromProcfile.dev
works. But this won’t compile the JS changes. So, one can jump into bash of the running container and manually runyarn build --watch
