Docker container connection

[kosten]

Hello,

I'm running the docker container via this command:
docker run --rm -p -d 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start

But after my shell was detached, I can't connect to the started container
I'm trying this commands to connect:

docker exec -it <container_name> bash
docker exec -it <container_name> sh
docker exec -it <container_name> /bin/sh

But every time getting this error:
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "sh": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

Can somebody help me, please ?

Got it. Thank you for help!

[tobiemh]

No problem @kosten - feel free to ask anything else!

[kosten]

@tobiemh, could you tell me, is there any manual for using SurrealDB with Kubernetes ?

You can run the sql client directly in the running surrealdb container using the following if you want to use a terminal.

docker exec -it <container_name> /surreal sql -c http://localhost:8000 -u root -p root --ns test --db test --pretty

@kosten
did you get solution on how to use with kubernet?

@richard457, nope. But I'm currently changed my mind to use Surreal DB. I'm going to return to it later

Hello,
I came from this issue #1385
I tried using the Docker image in a Docker Compose or Docker Swarm deployment environment and ended up adding a shell to it. I don't know if this is the best solution and if the lack of a shell is intentional.
I'm currently using this version of docker-compose file (works with docker swarm too. haven't try with kubernetes) :

version: '3'

services:
  surrealdb:
    env_file:
      - .env
    entrypoint: 
      - /surreal 
      - start 
      - --user
      - $DB_USER
      - --pass
      - $DB_PASSWORD
    image: surrealdb/surrealdb:latest
    ports:
      - 8000:8000

@kosten There's an error in your command-line docker run --rm -p -d 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start

The options -p and -d are swapped. You should swap them back. The port number mapping 8000:8000 needs to follow -p but in your command it follows -d

So the new command should be: docker run --rm -d -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start

With the fix above, you should be able to connect to http://localhost:8000
