Docker container restart causes the container to hang and quit

[gdantimi]

Hello,

I created a custom docker image in order to launch a wrapper script to load initial data. The first time I launch the container I kinda works, sometimes fails but I guess there is something cached or I don't wait enough for neo4j to be up.

The problem comes when I stop the container and i restart it. It downloads the plugins then it seems to hang and it fails to bring the process to foreground.

./wrapper.sh: line 57: fg: job has terminated

In /logs/debug.log there is no log when i restart the container. So it is hard to understand what's going on. Some permission issue?

Here my wrapper file

#!/bin/bash

It seems to happen with the latest version, when I switched to neo4j:4.2 then it started to work correctly.

I tried to run the clean images and both work, but using the wrapper script it seems to me that 4.4.10 has some issues in shutting down, maybe leaving some inconsistent state
