<p>This is what I keep getting:</p>

<p>I have two pods: <code>nfs-web-07rxz</code>, <code>nfs-web-fdr9h</code>, but if I do <code>kubectl logs nfs-web-07rxz</code> or with <code>-p</code> option I don't see any log in both pods.</p>
<pre><code>[root@centos-master ~]# kubectl logs nfs-web-07rxz -p
[root@centos-master ~]# kubectl logs nfs-web-07rxz

<p>This is my replicationController yaml file:

<p>My Docker image was made from this simple docker file:</p>
<pre><code>FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y nginx
RUN apt-get install -y nfs-common
</code></pre>
<p>I am running my kubernetes cluster on CentOs-1611, kube version:</p>
<pre><code>[root@centos-master ~]# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:&quot;1&quot;, Minor:&quot;3&quot;, GitVersion:&quot;v1.3.0&quot;, GitCommit:&quot;86dc49aa137175378ac7fba7751c3d3e7f18e5fc&quot;, GitTreeState:&quot;clean&quot;, BuildDate:&quot;2016-12-15T16:57:18Z&quot;, GoVersion:&quot;go1.6.3&quot;, Compiler:&quot;gc&quot;, Platform:&quot;linux/amd64&quot;}

</code></pre>
<p>If I run the docker image by <code>docker run</code> I was able to run the image without any issue, only through kubernetes I got the crash.</p>
<p>Can someone help me out, how can I debug without seeing any log?</p>

<p>As @Sukumar commented, you need to have your Dockerfile have a <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#/cmd" rel="noreferrer">Command</a> to run or have your ReplicationController specify a command. </p>

<p>The pod is crashing because it starts up then immediately exits, thus Kubernetes restarts and the cycle continues. </p>
