Command Ship

Easy command shipping for Docker containers.

Problem

Running docker run -v .:/source my-image-name make dozens of times a day is cumbersome.

Solution

Running just ship make is awesome!

That's what Command Ship will allow you to do.

How

Install Command Ship:

$ npm install -g commandship

Create a file called Shipfile in your project folder and add a sample configuration:

container = docker/whalesay
run = docker run {container}
hi = {run} cowsay "Hello from Docker!"

Save the file and run from your favourite terminal:

$ ship hi

You'll get a nice Docker whalesay greeting!

Now let's pass arguments, add this line to your Shipfile:

say = {run} cowsay "{...}"

Save the file again and run the command:

$ ship say Captain Jack Sparrow loves Docker!

Your favourite whale will now say whatever you tell through arguments. :)

Now you can try creating your own custom ship commands to start boosting your productivity with Docker. ;)
