I am trying to run a local script with docker bash in windows PowerShell but not working.
My script part is another program, but the finally goal is to process a media file and zip it with the shell script.
The cmd: docker exec -it containername /bin/bash < myscript.sh -f fileone.mp4 -h output
I have an error in ps:
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
The parameters (and also the files) are changing, if rerun the shell script, and after the script, processing is done it will create a zip file (what I need) with the output name, but random strings will be placed to the zipped filename too.
Anyone tried to use docker in that way in windows?
I figure out a solution for my own question. I just leave it here, if someone needs it.
The docker-compose file:
version: '3.8'
services:
somename:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
container_name: 'name_if_you_need'
The dockerfile:
FROM debian:latest
# Install and/or config anything what you need
ADD . /newfolder
WORKDIR /newfolder
ENTRYPOINT [ "/newfolder/myscript.sh" ]
To call (with arguments and/or flags if your script need it): docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/newfolder image_name -flag1 sample.mp4 -flag2 sample (no tty error, not need winpty)
Please note, if your script working with file or files, and you pass it via arguments like me, you need to copy them in your current folder before docker run
With this solution, if your script generates a file or files when/after executing, you will see them automatically in your current folder.
I have following Makefile target defined:
.PHONY: docker-build
docker-build:
# Build Docker image
docker build \
--squash \
...
-t $(DOCKER_IMAGE):$(DOCKER_TAG) .
output:
#echo Docker Image: $(DOCKER_IMAGE):$(DOCKER_TAG)
I need to use the variables DOCKER_IMAGE and DOCKER_TAG as input for another script to run right after the make docker-build.
Do you have any idea how to do it? Thanks in advance.
I have tried many ways but can't get the output from Makefile to environment variables or even just to terminal.
Running Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 host.
There is a Dockerfile:
FROM 16.04
...
RUN if [ some_condition ]; then ./foo.sh; fi
...
There is a foo.sh:
#!/bin/bash
...
echo 'Me working'
Now when trying to build the Docker image:
docker build -t name_of_the_image .
Getting error:
Step 7/12 : RUN ./foo.sh
---> Running in e7e0703d3f8f
/bin/sh: 1: ./foo.sh: not found
The command '/bin/sh -c ./foo.sh' returned a non-zero code: 127
I would assume error 127 would be the Docker doesn't see the bash. Any suggestion how to fix this?
Edit: already copying all files into the Docker, Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
MAINTAINER Mr Anderson "mr#anderson.com"
# set workdir
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
# Run scripts
RUN ./foo.sh
You'll need to copy/COPY the file into the container before you can execute/RUN the script.
Also since you're using a relative path when you call the script be sure to set a WORKDIR.
COPY ./foo.sh /app/foo.sh
WORKDIR /dir
RUN chmod +x /app/foo.sh
RUN if [ some_condition ]; then ./foo.sh; fi
Also make sure the script is executable.
After some further investigation:
Using CMD over RUN is not a perfect solution because of the way those commands work. RUN can be used any amount of times, to build Docker image layer by layer, while CMD can be executed only once when the image has been build.
In my case the solution was to:
Open ./foo.sh file with VIM and run: :set fileformat=unix and save the file.
Long story short: the line ending in the shell-script were incorrect and had to be converted to the Unix ones.
This is my Dockerfile
# This Dockerfile describes the standard way to build

MAINTAINER praveen
# Run a root to allow "rpm"

EXPOSE 13022
EXPOSE 13023

#ENTRYPOINT /etc/init.d/tao start && bash
While doing the docker build
Whether it'll execute the shell script and reflect the changes as part images or while running the images using docker run its will reflect the changes to container level
In my case ,I'm suspecting that, it is executing while docker build and docker run both time
I'm using below commands as part of building and running via vagrant file
d.build_image "/vagrant/tao", args: " -t tao/basic"
d.run "tao/basic:latest",
args: " -t -d"\
" --name tao-basic"\
" -p 13021:13021"\
" -e NS_PORT=13025,13026,13027"
let me know, need any more information
The Dockerfile instructions (such as RUN etc...) are actioned at build time (docker build -t something . etc...). Only the CMD and ENTRYPOINT instructions happen at run time (when the container is started).
In your example the shell script will get run as part of the build and whatever changes occur will be committed as a new layer in the image.
I'm trying to build a new Docker image for our development process, using cpanm to install a bunch of Perl modules as a base image for various projects.
While developing the Dockerfile, cpanm returns a failure code because some of the modules did not install cleanly.
I'm fairly sure I need to get apt to install some more things.
Where can I find the /.cpanm/work directory quoted in the output, in order to inspect the logs? In the general case, how can I inspect the file system of a failed docker build command?
After running a find I discovered
/var/lib/docker/aufs/diff/3afa404e[...]/.cpanm
Is this reliable, or am I better off building a "bare" container and running stuff manually until I have all the things I need?
Everytime docker successfully executes a RUN command from a Dockerfile, a new layer in the image filesystem is committed. Conveniently you can use those layers ids as images to start a new container.
Take the following Dockerfile:
FROM busybox
RUN echo 'foo' > /tmp/foo.txt
RUN echo 'bar' >> /tmp/foo.txt
and build it:
$ docker build -t so-26220957 .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 47.62 kB
Step 1/3 : FROM busybox
---> 00f017a8c2a6
Step 2/3 : RUN echo 'foo' > /tmp/foo.txt
---> Running in 4dbd01ebf27f
---> 044e1532c690
Removing intermediate container 4dbd01ebf27f
Step 3/3 : RUN echo 'bar' >> /tmp/foo.txt
---> Running in 74d81cb9d2b1
---> 5bd8172529c1
Removing intermediate container 74d81cb9d2b1
Successfully built 5bd8172529c1
You can now start a new container from 00f017a8c2a6, 044e1532c690 and 5bd8172529c1:
$ docker run --rm 00f017a8c2a6 cat /tmp/foo.txt
cat: /tmp/foo.txt: No such file or directory
$ docker run --rm 044e1532c690 cat /tmp/foo.txt
foo
$ docker run --rm 5bd8172529c1 cat /tmp/foo.txt
foo
bar
of course you might want to start a shell to explore the filesystem and try out commands:
$ docker run --rm -it 044e1532c690 sh
/ # ls -l /tmp
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Mar 9 19:09 foo.txt
/ # cat /tmp/foo.txt
foo
When one of the Dockerfile command fails, what you need to do is to look for the id of the preceding layer and run a shell in a container created from that id:
docker run --rm -it <id_last_working_layer> bash -il
Once in the container:
try the command that failed, and reproduce the issue
then fix the command and test it
finally update your Dockerfile with the fixed command
If you really need to experiment in the actual layer that failed instead of working from the last working layer, see Drew's answer.
The top answer works in the case that you want to examine the state immediately prior to the failed command.
However, the question asks how to examine the state of the failed container itself. In my situation, the failed command is a build that takes several hours, so rewinding prior to the failed command and running it again takes a long time and is not very helpful.
The solution here is to find the container that failed:
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
6934ada98de6 42e0228751b3 "/bin/sh -c './utils/" 24 minutes ago Exited (1) About a minute ago sleepy_bell
Commit it to an image:
$ docker commit 6934ada98de6
sha256:7015687976a478e0e94b60fa496d319cdf4ec847bcd612aecf869a72336e6b83
And then run the image [if necessary, running bash]:
$ docker run -it 7015687976a4 [bash -il]
Now you are actually looking at the state of the build at the time that it failed, instead of at the time before running the command that caused the failure.
Update for newer docker versions 20.10 onwards
Linux or macOS
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker build ...
Windows
# Command line
set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker build ...
# PowerShell
$env:DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0
Use
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker build ...
to get the intermediate container hashes as known from older versions.
On newer versions, Buildkit is activated per default. It is recommended to only use it for debugging purposes. Build Kit can make your build faster.
For reference:
Buildkit doesn't support intermediate container hashes: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/1053
Thanks to #David Callanan and #MegaCookie for their inputs.
Docker caches the entire filesystem state after each successful RUN line.
Knowing that:
to examine the latest state before your failing RUN command, comment it out in the Dockerfile (as well as any and all subsequent RUN commands), then run docker build and docker run again.
to examine the state after the failing RUN command, simply add || true to it to force it to succeed; then proceed like above (keep any and all subsequent RUN commands commented out, run docker build and docker run)
Tada, no need to mess with Docker internals or layer IDs, and as a bonus Docker automatically minimizes the amount of work that needs to be re-done.
Currently with the latest docker-desktop, there isn't a way to opt out
of the new Buildkit, which doesn't support debugging yet (follow the
latest updates on this on this GitHub Thread:
https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/1472).
Find out at which line in your Dockerfile it is failing.
Add to the top of your Dockerfile: FROM xxx as debug
Add an additional target: FROM xxx as next just one line before the failing command (as you don't want to build that part). Example:
FROM xxx as debug
RUN echo "working command"
FROM xxx as next
RUN echoo "failing command"
Run docker build -f Dockerfile --target debug --tag debug .
Then you can debug the container with: docker run -it debug /bin/sh
You can quit the shell by pressing CTRL P + CTRL Q
If you want to use docker compose build instead of docker build it's possible by adding target: debug in your docker-compose.yml under build.
Then start the container by docker compose run xxxYourServiceNamexxx and use either:
The second top answer to find out how to run a shell inside the container.
Or add ENTRYPOINT /bin/sh before the FROM xxx as next line in your Dockerfile.
Debugging build step failures is indeed very annoying.
The best solution I have found is to make sure that each step that does real work succeeds, and adding a check after those that fails. That way you get a committed layer that contains the outputs of the failed step that you can inspect.

In my case, I have to have:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build ...
and as mentioned by Jannis Schönleber in his answer, there is currently no debug available in this case (i.e. no intermediate images/containers get created).
What I've found I could do is use the following option:
... --progress=plain ...
and then add various RUN ... or additional lines on existing RUN ... to debug specific commands. This gives you what to me feels like full access (at least if your build is relatively fast).
For example, you could check a variable like so:
RUN echo "Variable NAME = [$NAME]"
If you're wondering whether a file is installed properly, you do:
RUN find /
etc.
In my situation, I had to debug a docker build of a Go application with a private repository and it was quite difficult to do that debugging. I've other details on that here.
If you are using docker-compose to build docker images try to add DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 before the command to see the last successful layer id
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker-compose ...
This will temporarily disable DOCKER_BUILDKIT for the command only.
Having the last layer id you can connect to it using the command from the top answer
docker run --rm -it LAST_LAYER_ID sh
my solution would be to see what step failed in the docker file, RUN bundle install in my case,
and change it to
RUN bundle install || cat <path to the file containing the error>
This has the double effect of printing out the reason for the failure, AND this intermediate step is not figured as a failed one by docker build. so it's not deleted, and can be inspected via:
docker run --rm -it <id_last_working_layer> bash -il
in there you can even re run your failed command and test it live.
What I would do is comment out the Dockerfile below and including the offending line. Then you can run the container and run the docker commands by hand, and look at the logs in the usual way. E.g. if the Dockerfile is
RUN foo
RUN bar
RUN baz
and it's dying at bar I would do
RUN foo
# RUN bar
# RUN baz
Then
$ docker build -t foo .
$ docker run -it foo bash
container# bar
...grep logs...
Still using BuildKit, as in Alexis Wilke's answer, you can use ktock/buildg.
