How to run parametrized bash scripts in Docker CLI - bash

I have an issue that I'm not able to solve. I want to run a bash script that is inside my Docker CLI container, and I want to execute it, passing parameters. Usually, I run scripts using a notation like this:
docker exec -i $CLI_ID bash "./script.sh"
But I don't know how to pass parameters to the script. I tried to execute it with:
docker exec -i $CLI_ID bash "./script.sh PARAM"
But it doesn't work. How can I do it?
Thanks

Try with bash -c option
docker exec -i $CLI_ID bash -c "./script.sh PARAM"
Hope this helps.

Make sure the script is executable , then you dont need the bash and double quotes etc. Just run it striaght away by path/name and provide the options.
[root#ap-p1m-ff ~]# docker exec -i 0c cat /tmp/test.sh
#!bin/bash
ls $1
[root#ap-p1m-ff ~]# docker exec -i 0c /tmp/test.sh -l

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 340 Jun 7 19:50 dev
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22 Jun 7 19:50 etc
but if the script is not already executble the bash should work as well:
[root#ap-p1m-ff ~]# docker exec -i 0c bash /tmp/test.sh -l

Add your parameter as a separate argument rather than as part of the filename:
docker exec -i "$CLI_ID" bash "./script.sh" PARAM
This way, you don't have to add another level of escaping to the parameter.

Why I am getting Screen is terminating error in MacOS

When trying to enter into Docker VM in mac, I am getting screen is terminating error whereby I cannot go into Docker Desktop. In Mac, Docker host is not the mac as it runs as a VM. Any solutions?
Thank you for the help.
Workarounds
I think it's a bug since version 2.3.0.4 of Docker Desktop for Mac, as I have used screen successfully to access the Docker VM in the past on Mac without this issue. (edit: this issue appears to be still present at version 2.4.0.0)
There are some alternative methods to access the Docker VM. Here is one that worked for me:
workaround method 1
run this command to enter shell of the Docker VM:
docker run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i sh
Then you can do what you need to do at the usual location for Docker volumes:
/ # ls -lah /var/lib/docker/volumes/

Creating an alias in bash that calls a script and an additional command

I was toying with the idea of creating an alias that would allow me to list the contents of a target subdirectory, without changing to that directory.
I have successfully been able to create both an alias and a script to change directory and display contents. I call the script leap and it is simply:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:.
# script to change to a directory, then display current contents
cd $1 && ls -l -a
The alias I use to trigger leap is defined: alias lp='. ~/scripts/leap'
My hope was I could simply create an alias named pk (pk is for peek) and concatenate my leap script and a standard bash command using &&. I could not be more wrong.
Current Directory
For reference, here is the contents of my current home directory (my user id has been replaced with $$$$):

[$$$$#host home]$
As you can see, this displays the current directory ( ~ ) rather than switching to PAST_COURSES and displaying it. Additionally, the alias jumps up one directory above the current directory ( ~ ) rather than returning to it from PAST_COURSES.
Incidentally, I also get this exact result when I try using the following aliases:
pk='. ~/scripts/leap $1 && cd ..'
(using the script for leap rather than the alias)
pk='cd $1 && ls -l -a && cd ..'
(using the exact code inside leap )
Findings
In my tinkering I have noticed a few things:
First, if I simply type $$$$#host ~]$ ~/scripts/leap *[dir-name]* I actually get EXACTLY what I want - a look into a directory without changing to it. All by omitting the leading ., which boggles me.
Second, I can fix the current pk alias by changing the trailing cd .. to cd $(pwd), though it will not display the target directory instead of the current one.
At this point, I'd like a little help - not just in a script or alias that will do the job. An explanation that explains this behavior that I'm seeing would be marvelous.
Don't use . (the source builtin)
alias pk='. ~/scripts/leap $1 && cd ..' (using the script for leap rather than the alias)
is not equivalent to
alias pk='cd $1 && ls -l -a && cd ..'
In the first one, the . builtin (also known as source) is used, while in the second it is not. . doesn't just execute a command, it executes it in the current shell context. From the documentation:
. (a period)
. filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from the filename argument in the current shell context.
That means anything the script does effects your current shell context. If the script changes directories, so does your current context.
If, on the other hand, the first version omitted the . like this:
alias pk='~/scripts/leap $1 && cd ..'
then the contents of the leap script would run in it's own bash context, but your current context would move up one directory (since the cd .. isn't inside the leap script).
Additional Recommendation on Functions vs Aliases
You could implement pk using a function like this:
pk() {
pushd $1
if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then
# Successfully changed directories.
# Run command
$2
# Return from the pre-pushd directory.
popd
fi
}
From the Bash Manual | 6.6 Aliases:
For almost every purpose, shell functions are preferred over aliases.
Example Alias
alias foo="echo bar"
Equivalent Function
foo() {
echo bar
}

Bash script acts differently depending on what executes it

I have a bash script which acts as a post-process script for utorrent-server that passes on variables to a media renamed called FileBot.
Script:
#!/bin/bash
TORRENT_NAME=$1
TORRENT_PATH=$2
TORRENT_LABEL=$3
TORRENT_KIND=$4
TORRENT_TITLE=$5
/usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh -script fn:amc --output "/mnt/Storage/" \
--log-file "amc.log" --action move --conflict override -non-strict \
--def music=n subtitles=en artwork=n xbmc="192.168.0.123" deleteAfterExtract=y \
clean=y "ut_dir=$TORRENT_PATH" "ut_file=$TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=$TORRENT_KIND" \
"ut_title=$TORRENT_TITLE" "ut_label=$TORRENT_LABEL" "ut_state=5" "seriesFormat=TV \
Shows/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})" \
&>> /home/xbmc/run.log
If i run this script manually, it works as intended, however when uTorrent executes it, it returns "No such file or directory." via stderr. I originally had uTorrent calling this script directly however I was having the same issue.
Does anyone know what could cause this?

Change the current working directory.
IF filebot.sh is the no-such-file, I suggest you to try with this:
chmod -R a+x /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh
IF it is your run.sh,
chmod -R a+x /home/xbmc/run.sh
You can try running filebot.sh as the owner. I think it worths a shot.
chown YOURUSERNAME /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh
chmod u+s /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh

what is ~/.npm dir for?

I have installed the global npm package jslint and it lives here
$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/jslint
lrwxr-xr-x 1 lust admin 40 Feb 12 15:31 /usr/local/bin/jslint -> ../lib/node_modules/jslint/bin/jslint.js
$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jslint/bin
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 lust staff 102 Apr 16 2012 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 lust staff 340 Feb 12 15:31 ..

$ which jslint
/usr/local/bin/jslint
$ head -3 /usr/local/bin/jslint
#!/usr/bin/env node
var linter = require("../lib/linter");
So it is without any doubt whatsoever at this point that jslint is in fact being run from this dir and not here:
$ ls -la .npm/jslint/0.1.9/package/bin/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 lust staff 102 Apr 16 2012 .

There appear to be two copies of the package, one in /usr/local/ and one in ~/.npm. Why is there one in .npm and is it safe for me to remove it?
~/.npm is a cache that npm uses to avoid re-downloading the same package multiple times. There's no harm in removing it. You can empty it with the command:
npm cache clean
