Questions
1

I tried to start kong following the docker guide at https://getkong.org/install/docker/ but getting

/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 15: exec: kong: not found

Heres my command log:

❯ docker run -d --name kong-database \
              -p 5432:5432 \
              -e "POSTGRES_USER=kong" \
              -e "POSTGRES_DB=kong" \

Is there anything else I should do to make this work?

Hi,

Unfortunately an issue sneaked into the centos image of 0.12.2. We are aware and already submitted a fixed image to the docker hub repository. In the meantime, you can rely on the alpine image or build your own from the docker-kong repository (where the Kong images are maintained).

Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi. Is this issue fixed by now? Because I have exactly the same error when following the latest docs ( Install Kong Gateway on Docker - v2.6.x | Kong Docs (konghq.com))
