A non deamon mode for using openlitespeed in LXC Docker containers

[wanah]

Hello,

Unless I'm mistaken, Openlitespeed is one of the only opensource webserver's that can't be run the the foreground, a requirement for running it in Docker LXC Containers.

Apache can be run with -DFOREGROUND, nginix has a daemon off mode, lighttpd can be run with -D to run in foreground, but I haven't found a way to do this with openlitespeed.

Docker helps run applications accross different operating systems, making it easy to deply the same software in developpement and production plateforms and scale nodes…

/usr/local/lsws/bin/openlitespeed -d



Thanks for asking. This has to be done from the command line and you should stop your current instance of OpenLiteSpeed first.

Thanks, it works !

I'll now be able to test running openlitespeed in docker in the next few days !

Docker does run it from command line and I don't think anything is launched except the specified software command when running a container.
