Can't run `microsoft/aspnet` interactively

I had a similar issue and docker run -it --rm --entrypoint powershell aspnet worked

This worked for me. Not sure why. Mind explaining @caokennedy

--rm deletes the container once it's finished running, erase everything related to it and save the disk space. I usually do this when running containers interactively so they're destroyed after I exit them.
--entrypoint powershell sets the entry point to powershell, so when the container runs interactively it's in a PowerShell shell

I did this following the advise of @bsedg, who suggested changing the entry point to powershell (he suggested doing it in the Dockerfile but I just did it when running the image)

Any update on this? I have the same problem.

Added Docker Support to an existing application in Visual Studio 2017, and when I try to launch a debug version of the docker container, I get this same problem.

@shirhatti Not sure if this directly answers your question, but you could try creating a Dockerfile and specify the entrypoint to be ["powershell"]:

FROM microsoft/aspnet

ENTRYPOINT ["powershell"]

Otherwise if you don't overwrite the entrypoint, the entrypoint is defined as ENTRYPOINT ["C:\\ServiceMonitor.exe", "w3svc"]. When you add cmd.exe as the run parameter, it is attempting to add that as an argument after ServiceMonitor.exe w3svc.

With that Dockerfile, you could then do docker build -t aspnet . and then run it interactively by docker run -it aspnet.

[Jinhuafei]

The aspnet base image uses ServiceMonitor.exe as entrypoint which is not an interactive process. You either have to change your entrypoint, like what @bsedg suggested. Or you can use enter-pssession -containerid [cointainerId] to connect to the container.
