In Runlike: Given an existing Docker container, prints the command line to run itI feel like this is something that should be in docker itself. I hope that this list gets a lot smaller:

191 points · Open discussionI had started out the same way, especially if it was a new app and I wasn't familiar with how I really wanted to run it. Some containers expect a fair number of environment variables and multiple mounts. Once I got everything working, I would create a script /svcs with the corresponding docker run command. There's even a cool tool called "runlike" which can create a well formatted command for any running container.

But I've got those migrated to docker-compose files these days and I try to start with the docker-compose file instead of going directly into testing out docker run commands.
