db2express-c kubernetes pod does not start on centos probably because of entrypoint.sh

[raguks]

kubectl logs db2xc --previous Changing password for user db2inst1. passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. New password: Retype new password: /entrypoint.sh: line 51: exec: : not found

This I think is the compatible docker version with kubernetes.

docker --version Docker version 1.10.3, build cb079f6-unsupported

kubectl version Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"2", GitVersion:"v1.2.0", GitCommit:"ec7364b6e3b155e78086018aa644057edbe196e5", GitTreeState:"clean"} Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"2", GitVersion:"v1.2.0", GitCommit:"ec7364b6e3b155e78086018aa644057edbe196e5", GitTreeState:"clean"}

Please let me know if you need more information.

I don't see the error here and please elaborate the issue.

Basically for kubernetes when I try to create a pod the pod does not comeup and ends up in CrashBackoff

NAME                        READY     STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE

  33m   10s 161 {kubelet wdp-downloadgo-dev3.fyre.ibm.com}  spec.containers{db2express-c}   Warning BackOff Back-off restarting failed docker container

When I look at the docker logs <containername>

I see the error coming from

kubectl logs db2xc --previous
Changing password for user db2inst1.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
New password: Retype new password: /entrypoint.sh: line 51: exec: : not found

 ```/entrypoint.sh: line 51: exec: : not found```

I do not have any other information.... I am thinking the script returns 1 and the pod creation fails

My yaml file looks like this:

cat pod-db2xpc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: db2xc
  labels:
    app: db2app
spec:
  containers:
  - name: db2express-c
    image: ibmcom/db2express-c
    ports:

    env:
    - name: DB2INST1_PASSWORD
      value: somepasswd!

      value: accept

I try with k8s today, it seems that add command: ["/entrypoint.sh","db2start"] into yaml is ok. There should be a launch parameters in k8s container.

The solution given by @diewuq works for me.

The solution also worked for me. Thanks @diewuq The change:

Or for docker-compose version > 3: command: "db2start" (db2start will just be appended to /entrypoint.sh)
