Docker containers are designed to run a single foreground process, and using systemctl within a container might not work as expected because systemctl is typically used in systems with systemd as the init system, and Docker containers usually don’t have a full init system.

If you need to run multiple services or processes within a container, you might want to consider using a process manager that is more suited for container environments. Some alternatives include supervisord, runit, or simply running multiple commands in your Dockerfile.

Here’s a basic example using supervisord:
