Dockerfile

• dockerfile manuals:

key instructions

• CMD
  • what command should be run in the image
  • CMD [“executable”, “param1”, “param2”, ...]
  • Its possible to override the command on starting up a container docker run myImage:latest _command_
  • Only last CMD will be used (so specifiy only one).
  • Its a good practice to specify at leaset a shell command here.
• ENTRYPOINT
  • Used to specify the 'main executable' of the image
  • If ENTRYPOINT is specified, CMD paramas will be added to the ENTRYPOINT

  • ENTRYPOINT ["git"]
    CMD ["--help"]
