Container: How to terminate Nginx unit container from application code. #748

Open Dawoodkhorsandi opened 2 years ago

Dawoodkhorsandi commented 2 years ago

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to stop running the Nginx unit container from the application code.

In our scenario, we've some pre-conditions and the container should be down in case any conditions are not met.

Hi @Dawoodkhorsandi If I understand you correctly you would like to stop the container? In this case you should talk to the docker control socket.

But I would do this from outside the container using something like a health-check or something similar.

Hi guys I have the same problem and don't think form outside container is good enough. Adding health checks in production requires another dependency to kill or restart the container. It's going to mess up our production env

Sorry for my late response. I am still not sure if I understand you correctly. Can you try to describe a use case including some examples what do you need from Unit to make it work?

I know this is 1+year-old and I'm not adding anything but I am curious how are you shutting down the container? What kind of sorcery allows you to control the container's lifecycle from inside the container itself?

I guess you could write an application that does kill 1 from within the container 🤷
