Build container while send it files from host

Create a Dockerfile

FROM beevelop/cordova:latest
MAINTAINER Walter whites <[email protected]>
WORKDIR /workspace
ADD /Dir_host /workspace
EXPOSE 3000
VOLUME /workspace

Dir_host is the path of the dir you want copy of the host to the container

Build image

You need to build image

sudo docker build . -t walterwhites/cordova -f container_cordova/docker-cordova/Dockerfile

Notes:

• option -t specify your image name
• option -f specify the path of your Dockerfile

Create a container

Create and run new container based on the image (we delete it after exit)

docker run -ti --rm walterwhites/cordova bash

Or build container while share data with volumes

To build app into the docker container

1. Build image of Dockerfile (which is in source)

sudo docker build . -t walterwhites/cordova

2. Run container

docker run -ti --rm --name=cordova -v /Users/username/workspace/DIR_HOST_TO_COPY:/DIR_CONTAINER walterwhites/cordova

DIR_HOST_TO_COPY = path of the directory of your host machine you want copy to the docker container

DIR_CONTAINER = path on your docker container where you want dir being copied

option -t is to run the container with terminal option -i is to run in interactive mode option -rm is to stop the container when exit it option -v is to create volume to share between your host (local machine) and the container

Note if you want keep the same container and don't delete it after exit, you should run:

docker run -ti --name=cordova -v /Users/username/workspace/gusto-coffee-mobile-app:/workspace walterwhites/cordova

After exit if is stoped you should start it:

docker start CONTAINER_ID

and to execute with bash:

docker exec -it <container-name/ID> bash

to know the container id/name you can run:

docker ps -a

Option -a is to know all container even if are stopped
