How can I access the /etc of a pulled servicemix image - docker

I need to install a custom bundle in a dockerized servicemix image. To do so, I need to paste some files in the /etc directory of the servicemix image.
Could anyone help me doing this?
I've tried using the Dockerfile as follows:
But it simply doesn't work. I've looked through the documentation of the image, and the author tells me to use the command: docker run --volumes-from servicemix-data -it ubuntu bash and inspect the /servicemix, but it's empty.
Dockerfile:
FROM dskow/apache-servicemix
WORKDIR .
COPY ./docs /apache-servicemix/etc
...
Command suggested by the author:
docker run --volumes-from servicemix-data -it ubuntu bash

I was unfamiliar with this approach but, having looked at the source (link), I think this is what you want to do:
Create a container called servicemix-data that will become your volume:
docker run --name servicemix-data -v /servicemix busybox
Confirm this worked:
docker container ls --format="{{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}" --all
42b3bc4dbedf servicemix-data
...
Then you want to copy the files into this container:
docker cp ./docs servicemix-data:/etc
Finally, run servicemix using this container (with your files) as the source for its data:
docker run \
--detach \
--name=servicemix \
--volumes-from=servicemix-data \
dskow/apache-servicemix
HTH!

Changes in the container will be lost until it is committed back to the image.
You can use this docker file https://hub.docker.com/r/mkroli/servicemix/dockerfile and your copy statement just before the ENTRYPOINT.
COPY ./docs /opt/apache-servicemix/etc

Copy docker volumes

I want to update some container. For testing, I want to create a copy of the corresponding volume. Set up a new container for this new volume.
Is this as easy as doing cp -r volumeOld volumeNew?
Or do I have to pay attention to something?
To clone docker volumes, you can transfer your files from one volume to another one. For that you have to manually create a new volume and then spin up a container to copy the contents.
Someone has already made a script for that, which you might use: https://github.com/gdiepen/docker-convenience-scripts/blob/master/docker_clone_volume.sh
If not, use the following commands (taken from the script):
# Supplement "old_volume" and "new_volume" for your real volume names
docker volume create --name new_volume
docker container run --rm -it \
-v old_volume:/from \
-v new_volume:/to \
alpine ash -c "cd /from ; cp -av . /to"
On Linux it can be as easy as copying a directory. Docker keeps volumes in /var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume_name>, so you can simply copy contents of the source volume into a directory with another name:
# -p to preserve permissions
sudo cp -rp /var/lib/docker/volumes/source_volume /var/lib/docker/volumes/target_volume
Should you want to copy volumes managed by docker-compose, you'll also need to copy the specific labels when creating the new volume.
Else docker-compose will throw something like Volume already exists but was not created by Docker Compose.
Extending on the solution by MauriceNino, these lines worked for me:
# Supplement "proj1_vol1" and "proj2_vol2" for your real volume names
docker volume inspect proj1_vol1 # Look at labels of old volume
docker volume create \
--label com.docker.compose.project=proj2 \
--label com.docker.compose.version=2.2.1 \
--label com.docker.compose.volume=vol2 \
proj2_vol2
docker container run --rm -it \
-v proj1_vol1:/from \
-v proj2_vol2:/to \
alpine ash -c "cd /from ; cp -av . /to"
Btw, this also seems to be the only way to rename Docker volumes.
In my work I use this script to:
clone the container
clone all its volumes and copy contents from the old volumes to the new ones
run the new container (with an arbitrary new image)
reattach the new volumes to the new container at the same destinations as the old ones
However, the script makes some assumptions about the naming of the volumes, so please read the README instructions before applying it.

See image generated in docker

I created a Docker like:
FROM rikorose/gcc-cmake
RUN git clone https://github.com/hect1995/UBIMET_Challenge.git
WORKDIR /UBIMET_Challenge
RUN mkdir build
WORKDIR build
#RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install cmake=3.13.1-1ubuntu3 protobuf-compiler
RUN cmake ..
RUN make
Afterwards I do:
docker build --tag trial .
docker run -t -i trial /bin/bash
Then I run an executable that saves a .png file inside the container.
How can I visualize the image?
You can execute something inside the container.
To see all containers you can run docker ps --all.
To execute something inside container you can run docker exec <container id> command.
Otherwise you can copy files from container to host, with docker cp <container id>:/file-path ~/target/file-path
Please mount a localhost volume(directory) with container volume(directory) in where you are saving your images.
now all of your images saved in container directory will be available in host or localhost mount directory. From there you can visualize or download to another machine.
Please follow this
docker run --rm -d -v host_volume_or-directory:container_volume_direcotory trial
docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash

Where is the file I mounted at run time to Docker?

I mounted my secret file secret.json at runtime to a local docker, and while it works, I don't seems to find this volume anywhere.
My docker file looks like this and has no reference to secret:
RUN mkdir ./app
ADD src/python ./app/src/python
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
Then I ran
docker build -t {MY_IMAGE_NAME} .
docker run -t -v $PATH_TO_SECRET_FILE/:/secrets/secret.json \
-e MY_CREDENTIALS=/secrets/secret.json \
{MY_IMAGE_NAME} ./app/src/python/runner.py
This runs successfully locally but when I do
docker run --entrypoint "ls" {MY_IMAGE_NAME}
I don't see the volume secrets.
Also, if I run
docker volume ls
it doesn't have anything that looks like secrets.
Without environment variable MY_CREDENTIALS the script won't run. So I am sure the secret file is mounted somewhere, but can't figure out where it is. Any idea?
You are actually creating two separate containers with the commands you are running. The first docker run command creates a container from the image you have built with the volume mounted and then the second command creates a new container from the same image but without any volumes (as you don't define any in your command)
I'd suggest you give your container a name like so
docker run -t -v $PATH_TO_SECRET_FILE/:/secrets/secret.json \
-e MY_CREDENTIALS=/secrets/secret.json \
--name my_container {MY_IMAGE_NAME} ./app/src/python/runner.py
and then run exec on that container
docker exec -it my_container sh

How to retrieve file from docker container?

I have a simple Dockerfile which creates a zip file and I'm trying retrieve the zip file once it is ready. My Dockerfile looks like this:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essentials gcc
ENTRYPOINT ["zip","-r","-9"]
CMD ["/lib64.zip", "/lib64"]
After reading through the docs I fee like something like this should do it but I can't quite get it to work.
docker build -t ubuntu-libs .
docker run -d --name ubuntu-libs --mount source=$(pwd)/,target=/lib64.zip ubuntu-libs
One other side question: Is is possible to rename the zip file from the command line?
Edit:
This is different than the duplicate question mentioned in the comments because while they're using cp to copy file from a running Docker container I'm trying to mount a directory upon instantiation.
There are multiple ways to do this.
Using docker cp:
docker cp <container_hash>:/path/to/zip/file.zip /path/on/host/new_name.zip
Using docker volumes:
As you were leading to in your question, you can also mount a path from the container to your host. You can either do this by specifying where on the host you want the mount point to be or don't specify where the mount point is and let docker choose. Both these paths require different approaches.
Let docker choose host mount location
docker volume create random_volume_name
docker run -d --name ubuntu-libs -v random_volume_name:<path/to/mount/in/container> ubuntu-libs
The content will be located on your host, here:
ls -l /var/lib/docker/volumes/random_volume_name/_data/
Let me choose host mount location
docker run -d --name ubuntu-libs -v <existing/mount/point/on/host>:<path/to/mount/in/container> ubuntu-libs
This creates a clean/empty location that is shared as per the locations defined in the command. Now you need to modify your Dockerfile to copy the artifacts to this path, something like:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essentials gcc
ENTRYPOINT ["zip","-r","-9"]
CMD ["sh", "-c", "/lib64.zip", "/lib64", "cp", "path/to/zip/file.zip", "<path/to/mount/in/container>"]
The content will now be located on your host, here:
ls -l <existing/mount/point/on/host>
I got to give a shout out to #joaofnfernandes from here, who does a great job explaining.
As #flagg19 commented, you should be binding a directory onto a directory. You can make up directories inside the container, and you can override the RUN arguments. Doing both plus adding type=bind leads to great success:
docker run -d --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/out ubuntu-libs /out/lib64.zip /lib64
Or of course you could change the Dockerfile RUN command to write to /out/lib64.zip instead of /lib64.zip:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essentials gcc && mkdir /out
ENTRYPOINT ["zip","-r","-9"]
CMD ["/out/lib64.zip", "/lib64"]
docker run -d --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/out ubuntu-libs
Either way, I recommend adding --rm and getting rid of --name. No need to keep around the container after it's done.

How to read docker command?

I would like someone to assist me in reading below docker run command
docker run --rm \
--volumes-from myredis \
-v $PWD/backup:/backup \
debian \
cp /data/dump.rdb /backup/
I know it dumps redis, and attaching volume from container myredis into cwd backup. As for the rest of the command I am having trouble interpreting it.
Thanks.
this command is to create a redis's backup you are coping the dump.rdb into the /backup dir on your host.
--rm means remove the container after run, usually it's a good way to clean your env because you can not reuse this container when it finish its work.
debian is the name of the image that you are using.
"cp /data/dump.rdb /backup/" is the command that you are doing inside your container
