When starting a Docker container with a React app inside by performing the following command:
docker run -p 3000:3000 [my-container-id]Your React app may exit immediately with the output like this:
goodman@Mac-mini client % docker run -p 3000:3000 33c988fb2142
> [email protected] start /app
> react-scripts start

Solution
The solution is quite simple. All you need to do is just add the -it flag to your command:
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 [container-id]In my case:
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 33c988fb2142 Further reading:
