No prompt

[zanematthew]

I have a docker-compose with the following;

version: '3'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis
    command: ["redis-server", "--appendonly", "yes"]
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    volumes:
      - "./services/redis/data:/data"

I can start the service, and connect to it, but I do not see a prompt.

I'm connecting to the service using; docker-compose exec -T redis bash, which drops me into a terminal with no prompt, I then can use redis-cli and ping the redis server and get the PONG response, but still no prompt, see below;

$ docker-compose exec -T redis bash
redis-cli
ping
PONG

I'm currently using Mac OS 10.11.5, using iTerm2 build 3.1.7, but the issue happens with the native Terminal app as well.

Is this an issue with; the redis image? how I'm connecting? related to my local terminal app configuration? I'll also add that this does not happen with other services, I can start a base nginx, or php service and connect to those and those do have a prompt.

Remove -T from your docker-compose exec line and you'll get prompts -- -T tells docker-compose to not allocate a TTY:

$ docker-compose exec --help
...
    -T                Disable pseudo-tty allocation. By default `docker-compose exec`
                      allocates a TTY.
...

In the future, these sorts of questions/requests would be more appropriately posted to the Docker Community Forums, the Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow.
