gobgp docker doesn't start

[rhicks]

When starting the docker images with either:

# docker-compose up
# docker-compose up -d

The gobgp image doesn't stay running.

There is a race condition I haven't figured out yet.
Just keep running the docker-compose up command over and over until it starts.
You can check if it is running using the docker ps command.

You should see all three containers when things are working correctly:

# docker ps

Have you figured out the race condition yet?

~/bgp-dashboard# docker-compose up | grep -i "exited with code 0"
Starting bgpdashboard_data_1
Starting bgpdashboard_mongo_1
Starting bgpdashboard_flask_1
Starting bgpdashboard_gobgp_1
bgpdashboard_data_1 exited with code 0
bgpdashboard_gobgp_1 exited with code 0
Stopping bgpdashboard_gobgp_1 ... done
Stopping bgpdashboard_flask_1 ... done
Stopping bgpdashboard_mongo_1 ... done

Workaround for the race condition:

gobgp:
build: ./gobgp/
ports:
- 179:179
links:
- mongo
volumes_from:
- data
restart: always

However the container isn't peering, I see a BGP OPEN message from my router followed by an ACK & FIN from my MacBook. This tells me that the router is attempting to peer and either my Mac or the goBGP container is closing the connection.
