A simple shell pipeline `docker run a | docker run b` for experimenting with docker stdio

Example of shell pipelines with docker

To run the example:

set -e;
clone_url='https://github.com/ORESoftware/docker-pipeline-example.git'
git clone "$clone_url" dpe && cd dpe
./run.sh

Basically we just want a shell pipeline to toy with (maybe we want to see about perf degradation when using stdio and docker).

docker run --rm -ti 'dpe-producer' | docker run --rm -i 'dpe-consumer'

To kill the pipeline

To kill it you seem to need to use ctrl-d before ctrl-c. It should kill the producer first, which should then begin the demise of the consumer.
