How to Create a Docker Image for Your Bash Script: A Step-by-Step Guide

To create a Docker image for your bash script, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new file called Dockerfile in your project directory.

  2. Inside the Dockerfile, add the following contents:

bashCopy codeFROM alpine:latest
COPY your_script.sh /usr/src/app/
WORKDIR /usr/src/app/
CMD ["/bin/sh", "your_script.sh"]

Replace "your_script.sh" with the name of your actual script.

  1. Save and close the Dockerfile.

  2. In your terminal, navigate to the project directory where the Dockerfile and your script are located.

  3. Run the following command to build the Docker image:

Copy codedocker build -t your_image_name .

Replace "your_image_name" with a name of your choice for the Docker image.

  1. After the image is built successfully, run the following command to start a new container:
arduinoCopy codedocker run -it your_image_name

This will run your script inside the Docker container and output the results.

Note: Make sure your bash script is in the same directory as the Dockerfile before building the image.
