getting Detected task failure for some images while creating docker service

I am trying to create docker swarm service, but I am getting some strange behavior:

For some images, it is successful and for some, I am getting an error:

docker service create nginx 89t21k3udf007pvl2ucvmdp9l overall progress: 1 out of 1 tasks 1/1: running [==================================================>] verify: Service converged --> Success

docker service create hello-world 8hhdki32ypfwshh2wvijkkmvb overall progress: 0 out of 1 tasks 1/1: preparing [=================================> ] verify: Detected task failure --> Fail

For your reference: docker pull hello-world is working fine.

I was under impression that we can create services on all the images, is there any terms and conditions for that? Am I missing something?

Note: This is the basic part, but my main intention is to create service for local registry image. But upon debugging found issue in very first step i.e. hello-world.

It is failing because the container created from the hello-world Docker image just displays a message and then exits, and that happens quickly.

And since you have created a swarm service, it will keep recreating the container everytime it fails, which is expected and that's why the service seems to be failing.

Please see below the service logs, and you will see that the container keeps being recreated:

[ ~]$ docker service create --name helloworld hello-world iilsd1yc706zgcdg35l8sdz3z
Since --detach=false was not specified, tasks will be created in the background.
In a future release, --detach=false will become the default.

You should try with a different Docker image, busybox for example:

[~]$ docker service create --name helloworld busybox:latest sh -c "while true; do echo Hello; sleep 2; done"
