Pro-tip

These script were mainly meant to be used with aliases so you can setup your docker-container as easy as 123.

alias mydocker-start="~/Path/to/start.sh"

Add these to the startup script of your favorite shell and you're all set.

nano ~/.bashrc

Usage

start.sh

Used to start the docker-container. It will automatically check your Viscosity-connection (when configured) and make sure the dns-settings are correct inside docker (when configured)

./start.sh

exec.sh

Used to run a command or a script-file inside the docker-container.

./exec.sh #opens shell on docker-container
./exec.sh echo something
./exec.sh "echo something && echo something else"
./exec.sh somefile.sh

stop.sh

Used to stop the docker-container. It also removes the cached docker-container (not the docker-image) to make sure that after a rebuild it uses the newly created docker-image.

./stop.sh

restart.sh

Used to start and stop the docker-container.

./restart.sh

build.sh

Used to (re)build the docker-image.

./build.sh

kill.sh

Used to stop the docker-machine. Forced stopping is optional.

./kill.sh
./kill.sh -f #Force stop the virtual machine.
