Run an existing Docker image, mount the local directory to it, and execute the command line options in /bin/bash

[kovar-ursa]

I've built a Docker image with various toolchains for compiling on different architectures. I used buildx to create a multi-architecture image and run this with:

docker run -it -v $(pwd)/:/builddir docker.io/me/xcompile:latest@sha256:0a3d9cdcbc8c3364b884d697598e17437b360153d5d62f8fc55b62b19db8e777 make all

So, mount the current directory into the image, run a specific version of the image, and execute make all.

What is the whales version of this where "make all" is a command line option?

I've tried this:

docker.run( ["docker.io/me/xcompile:latest@sha256:c8c5cc44c4a14c55d36e09cbdd3f175ca74a6b5ad5121a0f75346f66272228dd"], volumes=[pwd, "/builddir"], interactive=True, tty=True, detach=False )

The volumes section produces errors where both pwd and the "/builddir" look like: /:b:u:i:l:d:d:i:r:

This appears to be a LOT easier than using subprocess once I figure it out.

Hi there! Thanks for trying out this package! There is definitly improvements we could do in terms of checking the types of input, which is the error that you are hitting now.

I think you want something like this:

 docker.run( "docker.io/me/xcompile:latest@sha256:c8c5cc44c4a14c55d36e09cbdd3f175ca74a6b5ad5121a0f75346f66272228dd", ["make", "all"], volumes=[(pwd, "/builddir")], interactive=True, tty=True, detach=False )

You can take a look at the docs for docker run here: https://gabrieldemarmiesse.github.io/python-on-whales/sub-commands/container/#python_on_whales.components.container.cli_wrapper.ContainerCLI.run

let me know if you need more help!

That resulted in a similar error:

python_on_whales.exceptions.DockerException: The docker command executed was /usr/local/bin/docker container run --interactive --tty --volume ":/:U:s:e:r:s:/:me/:w:o:r:k:/:x:c:o:m:p:i:l:e:" --volume /:b:u:i:l:d:d:i:r `

Something is inserting colons in the string arguments to --volume.

Are you sure you copied the volume part of my command correctly? I changed it and made it into a tuple. That should have solved the issue

Closer! (And, many thanks for the help.)

python_on_whales.exceptions.DockerException: The docker command executed was /usr/local/bin/docker container run --interactive --tty --volume "/Users/me/work/xcompile":/builddir ['docker.io/me/xcompile:latest@sha256:c8c5cc44c4a14c55d36e09cbdd3f175ca74a6b5ad5121a0f75346f66272228dd'] ./configure; make clean; make all. It returned with code 125 The content of stdout can be found above the stacktrace (it wasn't captured). The content of stderr can be found above the stacktrace (it wasn't captured).

If I run the command directly it produces output that allows me to debug the issues. Using whales I only get the 125 error code.
