I would like to run this command:
docker run docker-mup deploy --config .deploy/mup.js
where docker-mup is the name the image, and deploy, --config, .deploy/mup.js are arguments
My question: how to mount a volume such that .deploy/mup.js is understood as the relative path on the host from where the docker run command is run?
I tried different things with VOLUME but it seems that VOLUME does the contrary: it exposes a container directory to the host.
I can't use -v because this container will be used as a build step in a CI/CD pipeline and as I understand it, it is just run as is.

Using -v to expose your current directory is the only way to make that .deploy/mup.js file inside your container, unless you are baking it into the image itself using a COPY directive in your Dockerfile.
Using the -v option to map a host directory might look something like this:
docker run \
-v $PWD/.deploy:/data/.deploy \
-w /data \
docker-mup deploy --config .deploy/mup.js
This would map (using -v ...) the $PWD/.deploy directory onto /data/.deploy in your container, set the current working directory to /data (using -w ...), and then run deploy --config .deploy/mup.js.

If you're inside the directory you want to bind mount, use ${pwd}:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v ${pwd}:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
or $pwd/. (forward slash dot):
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd/.:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
Just $pwd will cause an error:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
Variable reference is not valid. ':' was not followed by a valid variable name character. Consider using ${} to
delimit the name
Mounting a subdirectory underneath your current location, e.g. "site-content", $pwd/ + subdir is fine:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd/site-content:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
In my case there was no need for $pwd, and using the standard current folder notation . was enough. For reference, I used docker-compose.yml and ran docker-compose up.
Here is a relevant part of docker-compose.yml.
volumes:
- '.\logs\:/data'

I am trying to use my nginx server on docker but I cannot use the files / folder if they belong to my volume. Problem, the goal of my test is to keep a volume between the file in my computer and the container.
I have searched during 3 days and tried a lot of solution but no effects...( useradd, chmod, chown, www_data, etc.....)
I don't understand how is it possible to use ngnix, a volume and docker?
The only solution actually for me is to copy the folder of my volume in another folder, and so I can chown the folder and use NGIX. There is no official solution on the web and I am surprised because for me using docker with a volume binded with his container would be the basic for a daily work.
If someone has managed to implement it, I would be very happy if you could share you code. I need to understand what I am missing.
FYI I am working with a VM.
Thanks !
I think you are not passing the right path in the volume option. There are a few ways to do it, you can pass the full path or you can use the $(pwd) if you are using a Linux machine. Let's say you are on /home/my-user/code/nginx/ and your HTML files are on html folder.
You can use:
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v /home/my-user/code/nginx/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
or
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v ~/code/nginx/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
or
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v $(pwd)/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
I've created an index.html file inside the html folder, after the docker run, I was able to open it:
$ echo "hello world" >> html/index.html
$ docker run --name my-nginx -v $(pwd)/html/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 -d nginx
$ curl localhost:8080
hello world
You can also create a Dockerfile, but you would need to use COPY command. I'll give a simple example that's working, but you should improve this by using a version and etc..
Dockerfile:
FROM nginx
COPY ./html /usr/share/nginx/html
...
$ docker build -t my-nginx:0.0.1 .
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 my-nginx:0.0.1
$ curl localhost:8080
hello world
You can also use docker-compose. By the way, those examples are just to give you some idea of how it works.
I installed and run nginx on my linux machine to understand the configurations etc. After a while i decided to remove it safely by following this thread in order to use it in docker
By following this documentaion i run this command
sudo docker run --name ngix -d -p 8080:80 pillalexakis/myrestapi:01
And i saw ngix's homepage at localhost
Then i deleted all ngix images & stopped all containers and i also run this command
sudo docker system prune -a
But now restarted my service by this command
sudo docker run -p 192.168.2.9:7777:8085 phillalexakis/myfirstapi:01 and i keep seeing at localhost ngix index.html
How can i totally remove it ?
Note: I'm new with docker and i might have missed a lot of things. Let me know what extra docker commands should i run in order provide better information.
Assuming your host have been preparing as below
your files (index.html, js, etc) under folder - /myhost/nginx/html
your nginx configuration - /myhost/nginx/nginx.conf
Solution
map your files (call volume) on the fly from outside docker image via docker cli
This is the command
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web \
-v /myhost/nginx/html:/usr/share/nginx/html \
-v /myhost/nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
nginx
copy your files into docker image by build your own docker image via Dockerfile
This is your Dockerfile under /myhost/nginx
FROM nginx:latest
COPY ./html/index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
This is the command to build your docker image
cd /myhost/nginx
docker build -t pillalexakis/nginx .
This is the command to run your docker image
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web \
pillalexakis/nginx
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
Can anyone clarify the syntax in this command:
$ docker run -d -P --name web -v /src/webapp:/webapp training/webapp python app.py
I can see that:
Host directory: /src/webapp
Container: /webapp
but what is training/webapp? Is that the image? If so, why is there a /?
And is everything after that (i.e. python app.py) the command that you want to run in the container?
=====
And to clarify with this command:
$ docker run -d -P --name web -v /webapp training/webapp python app.py
How does it work if you ONLY specify -v /webapp - is that equivalent to /webapp:/webapp?
You can find the documentation for docker run here
The basic structure looks like this:
$ docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|#DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]
-d let's you run your docker container in detached mode, so you won't see the console output
-P publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces
--name the name of your container
-v the volume you mount host/path:container/path, where in your case /src/webapp is on your local machine and /webapp is inside your container
training/webapp is the username and image name for the docker image. I have linked the image's location on DockerHub for you
python app.pyare the command (python) and the argument run when the container starts (app.py)
Yes, training/webapp is image name. Dockerhub accept name this way only.
training is username and webapp is image name.
if you don't use dockerhub(this is image repository from docker pull image by default) and build image locally then you can give any name.
python app.py : command that will execute when docker up
--name web : this will be name of container
-v /src/webapp:/webapp : this will create volume webapp and mount on /src/webapp
--publish-all, -P : Publish all exposed ports to random ports

I'm using docker version Docker version 1.9.1, build a34a1d5 on ubuntu:14.04. I have created a docker container with a volume option like this docker run -it -p 80:8080 -v host/folder:container/folder ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash. host/folder has some files that i'm trying to access from container/folder. The files from host/folder isnt available from container/folder.
when you mount a host folder as a volume with -v you must specify absolute paths, so replace host/folder and container/folder with the absolute path.
Something like docker run -it -p 80:8080 -v /home/uday/host/folder:/container/folder ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash (of course set the correct path to your host/folder directory)
