Vote container not starting + fix

Description

Vote container not starting. Running latest example-voting-app on up-to-date Docker Desktop on a Mac

Steps to reproduce the issue, if relevant:

1. git clone latest version
2. docker-compose up --build -d
3. docker-compose ps

Describe the results you received: “docker-compose ps” shows “Exit 1” on vote_1 container. Rest is Up:

$ docker-compose ps
          Name                        Command               State                       Ports

redis                      docker-entrypoint.sh redis ...   Up       0.0.0.0:32769->6379/tcp 

‘docker-compose logs’ shows the following error:

OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Describe the results you expected: Well… Up instead of Exit 1 😎

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally): I’ve fixed it… see below.

The Fix I’ve added a ‘shebang’ to ‘example-voting-app/vote/app.py’:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

Now it runs like expected:

$ docker-compose ps
          Name                        Command               State                      Ports

I had the same issue on Docker for Windows and I fixed it with two changes:

• Add the shebang #!/usr/bin/env python2.7, like @davidem already wrote
• Use the Unix style line endings for app.py, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/55272071/4471199

hmm… looks ok. Strange. And you’re using the original Dockerfile to build ‘vote’? I mean: it 's still using python:2.7-alpine?

Yes… I did not change the Dockerfile, more strangly, if I compile and build it as an single image, it runs smoothly without any warning. even with the shebang removed, I think it is an docker-compose issue.
