I use a third party GUI (Synology Docker package) to setup a docker container. However, it\'s limitation makes me need to run the container from the command line. (I want to

Answer 1

I wrote a simple Node-based CLI tool to generate a docker run command from an existing container.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/rekcod

Here's an example:

$ npm i -g rekcod
$ rekcod redis_container

docker run -d --name redis_container --restart always -h a44159e148e1 \
--expose 6379/tcp -e PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin \
-e REDIS_VERSION=3.0.7 -e REDIS_DOWNLOAD_URL=http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-3.0.7.tar.gz \
-e REDIS_DOWNLOAD_SHA1=e56b4b7e033ae8dbf311f9191cf6fdf3ae974d1c \
--entrypoint "/entrypoint.sh" redis "redis-server"

Also handles links and mounted volumes and other stuff.

Not super robust at the moment, but handles more than some of the other things mentioned, and it was more of what I was looking for.

EDIT: In a single command, without installing any software:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock nexdrew/rekcod redis_container
