container.yml

container.yml is a little script aiming to make docker container configurations live in files not as commands. It builds from a project's Dockerfile (container.yml build) and can run the container with settings defined in the container.yml file (container.yml start [-d]).

Inspired by Docker Compose.

Configuration

• The env, volumes and ports options contain a list of options. They are all appended with -e/-v/-p and individually added to the options list.
• The env-file reads environment key/value pairs form a yaml file
• The cpu option sets the percentage of cpu a container gets
• When running in daemon mode, the container automattically restarts on exit
• All other options are passed directly to docker
• The cpu and memory options are also used during container build if the -l option is used. However, the build process can be very slow if it is restricted.

Examples

volumes:
 - /var/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker
privileged: true

memory: 128m
cpu: 10
