The command '/bin/sh returned a non-zero code: 1

Question

When I try to install a bin file manually inside a ubuntu Docker container it works perfectly,

./MyBinfile.bin

but when I try it from my Dockerfile I always get the error : The command '/bin/sh -c chmod +x /tmp/snapcenter_linux_host_plugin.bin && ./tmp/MyBinFile.bin' returned a non-zero code: 1

My Dockerfile looks like :

    FROM debian:jessie

    RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk
    ENV JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
    RUN echo $JAVA_HOME

    COPY MyBinFile.bin /tmp/MyBinFile.bin
    RUN chmod +x /tmp/MyBinFile.bin && ./tmp/MyBinFile.bin

Can anyone help me in this case?

Answer 1

You copied MyBinFile.bin to /tmp/MyBinFile.bin. Those are not the same file. If you need to run it use absolute path for the file that has executable attribute on it. So your last line should be:

RUN chmod +x /tmp/MyBinFile.bin && /tmp/MyBinFile.bin

'.' (dot) represents your current current working directory. It's recommended to always use absolute paths if you're unsure what is your cwd.

EDIT

Running your Dockerfile produces the following output:

The command '/bin/sh -c chmod +x /tmp/MyBinFile.bin &&

But if I separate your last step into two different steps:

FROM debian:jessie

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk
ENV JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
RUN echo $JAVA_HOME

COPY MyBinFile.bin /tmp/MyBinFile.bin
RUN chmod +x /tmp/MyBinFile.bin
RUN /tmp/MyBinFile.bin

then it executes OK.

I had a close similar issue when running NextJs inside Docker. Here is how I solved the issue::

Note:: This solution will also solve the EACCES error...Permission denied when accessing files inside the dockerized app e.g. route pages.

I added root user immediately before the command to change ownership then later switched back to run the rest of the commands together with container with non-root user i.e. node user from base alpine image.

# The "./" is the working directory e.g. /usr/app
USER root
RUN chmod a+w ./ -R

# Later switch back to run rest of commands and container as node non-root user 
USER node
