Chain node & java commands in Docker CMD












0















I am trying to execute the following in my container:



CMD ["java", "-version", "&&", "node", "index.js"]


The first command runs, but the node command does not. Is the proper syntax for chaining these commands?

          You are using the exec form, this means that no shell (sh,bash etc.) is invoked, so what is essentially happening is that java gets "&&", "node" and "index.js" as extra arguments which it will likely ignore.



          You can use the shell format to get the logic you want:



          CMD java -version && node index.js

          • Do you mind explaining why I am using exec mode in this case? Is this because I placed my commands in ? If I were to simply run CMD java... without that would mean I am in shell form, correct?

          • Aha, so in exec mode it becomes JSON. Very interesting. Thank you.
