Docker Multiple processes in one container instance Dockerfile + supervisord.conf
Example
To run multiple processes e.g. an Apache web server together with an SSH daemon inside the same container you can use supervisord.
Create your supervisord.conf configuration file like:
[supervisord]
nodaemon=true
[program:sshd]
command=/usr/sbin/sshd -D
[program:apache2]
command=/bin/bash -c "source /etc/apache2/envvars && exec /usr/sbin/apache2 -DFOREGROUND"
Then create a Dockerfile like:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get install -y openssh-server apache2 supervisor
RUN mkdir -p /var/lock/apache2 /var/run/apache2 /var/run/sshd /var/log/supervisor
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf
CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]
Then you can build your image:
docker build -t supervisord-test .
Afterwards you can run it:
$ docker run -p 22 -p 80 -t -i supervisord-test
