Sample Bash Script
Here I am creating a sample bash script for this tutorial. I am creating a hello world script.
$ vim sample.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo Hello World!
Dockerize the Script
Now its time to dockerize the Script. Firstly, add Dockerfile in the root of your app.
$ vim Dockerfile
Then paste the following content into Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu
ADD ./sample.sh /usr/src/sample.sh
RUN chmod +x /usr/src/sample.sh
CMD ["/usr/src/sample.sh"]Build your app
After creating Dockerfile its time to build your app. You can use docker build command to build the docker image. We will also tag our image with -t option.
$ docker build -t sample .
