Problem with latest Docker image

[Ondřej Surý]

Hey Randy,

you haven’t specified previous version you’ve been using, but nothing expect the version has changed between 9.20.8 and 9.20.9 and between 9.20.9 and 9.20.10:

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9-docker/-/commits/v9.20?ref_type=heads

You can change the command like of named from -f to -g:

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9-docker/-/blob/v9.18/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads

Lookup the documentation for the ENTRYPOINT and CMD (https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-best-practices-choosing-between-run-cmd-and-entrypoint/) how to run named with different arguments (the -g forces named to log to default stderr).

However when I use the most recent image (~6/18/25), named fails to start (no error message given). I tried upping the debug level with -d 9, but there was still no error message, either in the logs or to stdout.
