我有一个Python(2.7)应用程序，它在我的dockerfile中启动:
CMD ["python","main.py"]
py在启动时打印一些字符串，然后进入循环:
print "App started"
while True:
time.sleep(1)
只要我用-it标志启动容器，一切都能正常工作:
$ docker run --name=myapp -it myappimage
> App started
之后我可以通过日志看到相同的输出:
$ docker logs myapp
> App started
如果我尝试运行带有-d标志的相同容器，容器似乎正常启动，但我看不到任何输出:
$ docker run --name=myapp -d myappimage
> b82db1120fee5f92c80000f30f6bdc84e068bafa32738ab7adb47e641b19b4d1
$ docker logs myapp
$ (empty)
但容器似乎仍在运行;
$ docker ps
Container Status ...
myapp up 4 minutes ...
Attach也不显示任何东西:
$ docker attach --sig-proxy=false myapp
(working, no output)
有什么问题吗?“打印”在后台运行时表现不同吗?

请看这篇文章，详细解释了这种行为的原因:
There are typically three modes for buffering:
If a file descriptor is unbuffered then no buffering occurs whatsoever, and function calls that read or write data occur immediately (and will block).
If a file descriptor is fully-buffered then a fixed-size buffer is used, and read or write calls simply read or write from the buffer. The buffer isn’t flushed until it fills up.
If a file descriptor is line-buffered then the buffering waits until it sees a newline character. So data will buffer and buffer until a \n is seen, and then all of the data that buffered is flushed at that point in time. In reality there’s typically a maximum size on the buffer (just as in the fully-buffered case), so the rule is actually more like “buffer until a newline character is seen or 4096 bytes of data are encountered, whichever occurs first”.
GNU libc (glibc)使用以下规则进行缓冲:
Stream Type Behavior
stdin input line-buffered
stdout (TTY) output line-buffered
stdout (not a TTY) output fully-buffered
stderr output unbuffered
因此，如果使用-t, from docker document，它将分配一个伪tty，然后stdout变成行缓冲，因此docker run——name=myapp -it myappimage可以看到一行输出。
而且，如果只使用-d，没有分配tty，那么，stdout是完全缓冲的，一行App启动肯定不能刷新缓冲区。
然后，使用-dt使stdout行缓冲或在python中添加-u来刷新缓冲区是修复它的方法。
