I can imagine this might be a Docker things rather than a commandbox-in-docker thing - but hopefully someone can help - nonetheless... Can I restart the CFML server, service in a container? I have tried to use

box server restart

but the container "ends" when the server stops running. Thanks!

I don't believe it's possible to restart the main process of a docker container since it is literally the container.

I do something like this - it's not commandbox though:

docker compose exec container-name /opt/ColdFusion/cfusion/bin/coldfusion restart

Yep, that restarts the entire container

Nope. That shells into it the container and just restarts CF. Again this is a vanilla install of CF in Docker, not CommandBox. https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/exec/ With this subcommand, you can run arbitrary commands in your services It's the same as doing

docker exec -it container-name /bin/bash

and then manually going to that path and restarting CF

oh, interesting

FYI not an Adobe container either. It's just a Debian image where I install CF So that may explain the unexpected behavior LOL

The CommandBox Docker containers used to tail the output of the server log file, which may be how Adobe implements theirs. Now we generate a startup script and execute it directly - which provides the smallest resource footprint and also ensures that all

stdout

and

sterr

are captured.
