I have a container that I create with
# start
docker build -t cdt-tests .
docker run -it --name cdt-tests cdt-tests
# end => I want to inspect the container filesystem after it's done
because it's not running in detached mode, how can I inspect the container? What I want to do, is prevent the container from "auto-closing" so that I can inspect the filesystem of the container after it's completed.
The Dockerfile for cdt-tests looks like:
FROM node:6
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get -y install sudo
RUN sudo apt-get -y update
RUN sudo apt-get -y upgrade
RUN sudo apt-get install -y sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
USER root
RUN mkdir -p /tmp/test-deps
RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/cdt-tests
WORKDIR /usr/local/cdt-tests
ENV SUMAN_POSTINSTALL_IS_DAEMON no
RUN rm -rf node_modules
RUN npm set progress=false
RUN npm config set loglevel=warn
RUN npm set loglevel=warn
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install --no-optional > /dev/null 2>&1
RUN npm install bower > /dev/null 2>&1
COPY . .
RUN ./node_modules/.bin/bower install --config.interactive=false --allow-root > /dev/null 2>&1
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "/usr/local/cdt-tests/@run-tests.sh"]
I know the trick to use, to override the entrypoint, and inspect the container, like so:
docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash --name cdt-tests cdt-tests
However, that won't work for my current use case, because I want to inspect the container after @run-tests.sh has completed!
So I have two questions:
- How can I inspect the filesystem of a non-daemon container after it has completed running?
- How can I get the container id for the container that's created for a non-daemon container (without using $(docker ps)).
If I do a docker ps -a, I see:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
08740a432d1c cdt-tests "/bin/bash /usr/lo..." 24 seconds ago Exited (130) 7 seconds ago cdt-tests
f27a302b1d8f cdt-server "/bin/bash /usr/lo..." 38 seconds ago Up 36 seconds cdt-server
b854506e75df cisco-selenium "/opt/bin/entry_po..." 41 seconds ago Up 39 seconds 4444/tcp cdt-selenium
a37cab33b293 mongo "docker-entrypoint..." 43 seconds ago Up 41 seconds 27017/tcp cdt-mongo
so we can see cdt-tests is there, even though it's not a daemon.
So we try to inspect it, something like this:
docker exec cdt-tests /bin/bash
but we get an error:
Error response from daemon: Container 08740a432d1c8f014bc138c82706de1e9682a052c088531d60b33c6acbbd5559 is not running
what to do?
