CKAN exit code 0 even when it crashes

[frafra]

CKAN Version if known (or site URL)

2.8.1, launched with docker-compose.yml

Please describe the expected behavior

When CKAN crashes, an exit code greater than 0 should be returned.

Please describe the actual behavior

CKAN returns 0, so the container is not marked as failed and restart: on-failed does not work as expected.

What steps can be taken to reproduce the issue?

1. Add --reload to CMD
2. docker-compose up
3. Overwrite a file to restart CKAN

Can you provide more details about what command exactly is failing? It might be the paster development server which is returning this error.

Also if CKAN is crashing won't it crash again the next time the container is restarted?

Sure; it is paster indeed, as I am using the Dockerfile provided by ckan.

It could, if it is not a temporary issue, as any other container which have issues (Docker automatically add delays between restarts if the container keeps failing). There is still a difference between a stopped container (exit code 0) and one that has errors (exit code >0). Having more information about the status of the CKAN container could both help monitoring and development (at least in my case, where I want ckan to restart after a bad crash).
