hello-world will not even run

[jwilleke]

When trying to get the simplest of things working on an "Docker Official Image" and it fails.

hello-world

The image will not start.

• Docker desktop Version: 4.30.0 (149282)
• Engine: 26.1.1
• Compose: v2.27.0-desktop.2

Also tried as a pod in Kubernetes.

Can you provide the error you get?

[jwilleke]

Well apparently it runs and terminates. I never see an error.

I'm pretty sure for this image it's normal. It runs which outputs and then the container stops when the process stops.

Thanks
You maybe right but as a "Hello World" then it is pretty confusing an useless.

I have been looking for a very simple "Hello World" app, deployed by kustomize, that is known to work to use for troubleshooting issues in a cluster.

Have yet to find one.

Yeah, this image is really just a "cli" that prints output and exits. If you want something that responds to network and stays up, then an empty/unconfigured nginx would work pretty well. But if you need something a little more complex there is a simple voting app: https://github.com/dockersamples/example-voting-app.
