I'm creating my development environment in Docker and due to need of Azure Storage service I want to use Azurite as local Azure Storage service.

When I try to do

RUN azurite-blob &

it just runs and no effect is done by this command. I also tried echo this command to file and run as script, but the result was the same.

When I run the same command on docker container it starts normally and creates various catalogs for azurite.

So the question is how to make azurite working in background in Dockerfile?

docker azure

you can not make a command to work in background inside the build steps of the dockerfile, since every steps will run in a seperate layer and will removed when the step finished.

you may use:

  • ENTRYPOINT or CMD to achieve that (aka run it in the runtime not build)

UPDATE

based on your comment:

create script.sh:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/azurite &

exec "$@"

you need to set it as executable first , in Dockerfile: 

COPY script.sh script.sh
RUN chmod +x script.sh

then you can use bash as your command for interactive mode
