The xxx service failed to start due to the following error: 1053 in Docker [duplicate]

I have developed a Windows-worker service and I want to start it in a docker-based environment for automated testing. Therefore I built it with the following command:
dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true
Additionally I have the following Dockerfile:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/insider:10.0.17763.107
COPY ["Install/", "C:/Service/Name/"]
RUN powershell New-Service -Name "Name" -BinaryPathName "C:\Service\Name\Name.exe"
When trying to start the service with Start-Service -Name "Name" the startup takes long and the service stays in the state Starting and then I get an 1053-error in the Eventlog (LogName=System).
Due to the fact, that the service did not start I made another one, that is mainly based on the template in Visual Studio, so it should only log a message to the eventlog. This service has the same behavior. When installing it on my local machine everything works fine.
Do you have any ideas why the service remains in the state Starting even though it does already the tasks of the Running-state?

I solved the problem now, because I found the following issue: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/50020
UseWindowsService() does not work in Docker, so I had to specify WindowsServiceLifetime:
services.AddSingleton<IHostLifetime, WindowsServiceLifetime>();

Azure App Service Linux Web App: It was not possible to find any installed .NET Core SDKs

I'm trying to publish a small .NET Core 3.1 Web App on Azure App Service (Linux), and the app won't start.
No matter if I'm publishing using Visual Studio, or Azure DevOps, i'm getting the following error on my Linux Azure App Service (which, by the way, already contains two other apps):

I've tried to create the web app on azure again, and even tried to publish the same code of the other apps, and the same problem occurs.
Anybody has a hint of the cause of this problem?

So, after a long day of trying to figure this thing out I managed to publish and app to an app service running linux. I'm using an App Service Plan (Linux, B1) that lives in a "shared" resource group since I want to run multiple apps on it. I'm also deploying the infrastructure using Bicep and the pipeline is yaml.
The issue was, as it seems, that when I was deploying the app through Azure DevOps, it was nesting the app archive in another zip-file. The app zip-file needs to be the root-folder in the app, not obvious unless you download the files that are being executed in the app service itself.
Yeah, also I'm using the self-contained version of deployment here. You can read more about it here. I had no success doing it with the framework-dependent way unless I published the app from Visual Studio 2022.
So, in the end, here are the snippets that made the thing work for me:
azure-pipelines.yaml - Build stage
- task: DotNetCoreCLI#2
inputs:
command: 'publish'
projects: '**/*Api.csproj'
arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration) -r linux-x64 --self-contained true --output $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
modifyOutputPath: false
publishWebProjects: false
zipAfterPublish: true
displayName: 'Dotnet Publish'
- task: PublishBuildArtifacts#1
inputs:
targetPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
ArtifactName: drop
azure-pipelines.yaml - Deploy stage
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment#4
inputs:
azureSubscription: '$(azureSubscription)'
appType: webAppLinux
WebAppName: '$(output_appServiceName)'
packageForLinux: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/**/a.zip' #Since we are not specifying the folder name in the steps prior, the folder will be called just a.zip, this is fine since the deployment is going to rename it any way in the app service file system anyway(in Kudu)
The app service resource in Bicep
resource appService 'Microsoft.Web/sites#2021-01-01' = {
name: '${serviceName}-${environment}-app'
location: resourceGroup().location
kind: 'app'
properties: {
serverFarmId: planId
siteConfig: {
alwaysOn: true
http20Enabled: true
linuxFxVersion: 'DOTNETCORE|5.0'
appSettings: [
{
name: 'WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE'
value: '1'
}
]
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
P.S. Having "corrupted" zip-files in the app service (Kudu) can cause the app to fail. I suggest anyone having this issue to either delete all files from wwwroot or simply delete the app service resource and deploy it from scratch to make sure it can start properly.

How to properly publish Blazor (ASP.NET Core hosted) and remove console errors related to .pdb files

I am attempting to start a new Blazor (ASP.NET Core hosted) project and properly publish to linux-arm, linux-arm doesn't seem to be the issue at the moment.
I am able to get it running, however, Browser > Dev Tool > Console is showing the following errors:
GET http://localhost:5000/_framework/_bin/rpiServer.Client.pdb (404) Not Found blazor.webassembly.js:1
GET http://localhost:5000/_framework/_bin/rpiServer.Client.pdb (404) Not Found blazor.webassembly.js:1
Having my startup project as rpiServer.Client or rpiServer.Server during Publish yields the same errors when all is setup on the RPI.
These are the steps I used to Publish and get the Hosting Environment running:
dotnet publish -r linux-arm --output R:\...\rpiServer (on Windows for the RPI), then on the RPI, executing sudo chmod +755 ./rpiServer.Server and finally ./rpiServer.Server to start the website.
Note, I can find _framework folder but is isn't under the main folder, I first need to open rpiServer.Client/dist/ to find the folder. I also tried to copy this folder to the root of the Website, no changes to the error messages.
Does anyone know the intended process/step for publishing and intended file structure. I will provide more details when requested.

Can't find windows service in service lists

I installed a Windows Service under an account type user in service installer. When I try to start it from service lists I can't find it. If I change the account type to local service in the installer then I can find it. I need to built it under a user account. How to solve this?

save this text to a batch file(.bat) and run in the sample folder with your window service
#ECHO OFF
ECHO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO ------------------------------ Auto Install Windows Service -----------------------------
ECHO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO --- Typing the path of Windows Service need to install
#SET /p serviceName=
IF NOT "%serviceName%" == "" (
ECHO --- Installing "%serviceName%"
ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil %serviceName% -i
net start yourservicename
ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAUSE
)

Sometimes this happen when you install the service and the List Service Window is open. just install the service with the service windows close, sound silly but it works.

Volumes with docker microsoft/iis

I was trying to attach a volume to the docker container but none of the ways I tried worked. I am working with an Azure Windows 2016 vm

So in my docker file I am copying over my IIS website into inetpub/root
and my goal is to mount /inetpub on the container to the local machine so changes to the scripts and web.config can be done at run time.
At first I tried VOLUME /inetpub in the dockerfile which build successfully, but then when I ran the container, it give me the following error.
encountered an error during CreateContainer: failure in a Windows system call: The directory is not empty
But there is no mention anywhere in the docker documentation about the volume needing to be empty.
So then I tried attaching the volume at run, such as, docker run -p 80:80 -v C:/build/inetpub:C:/inetpub web/iis .
this gave me the same error as above. but when i try
docker run -p 80:80 -v C:/build/inetpub:C:/randomtest web/iis .
it works, but I can't modify the files else the container stops.
The last thing I tried was working with docker-compose,
in my service I have
volumes:
- ./inetpub:/inetpub
which give the following error
Cannot create container for service wfgen: invalid volume spec "/inetpub": invalid volume specification
I tried many variations of - ./inetpub:/inetpub but they always gave me the same error.
Thanks for any help, I ve been stuck on this for days without any results.
Here is my docker file

So I've just tried this:
docker run --rm -v c:/folder:c:/somefolder microsoft/iis
and it works perfectly, I can create files, I can delete them, etc.

I'm using docker beta.

This is because at the moment windows containers support only empty directories. I needed to map only logs volume and this command in Dockerfile helped me:
RUN ["powershell", "Remove-Item", "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\Portals\\Logs\\*", "-Recurse"]
Then I simply issued docker run --rm -d -p 8000:80 -v c:/Logs:c:/inetpub/wwwroot/Portals/Logs --name site-v my-image-name
Got info from here.
