Really useful one-liners

Start apache and serve the current directory.
docker run --rm -it -p8080:80 -v $(pwd):/usr/local/apache2/htdocs httpd
asciicast2gif
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data asciinema/asciicast2gif https://asciinema.org/a/diFmnNEo94uA65B0HMu205B1w.cast demo.gif
Portainer
sudo docker run --privileged=true -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce
zsh function to run docker one-liners
Add the following to your ~/.zshrc file. This has the ability to specify port and directory. On macOS it will also open a web browser to localhost.
docker_fun() {
port=$1
if [ -n "$3" ]; then
port=$3
fi
dir=$PWD
if [ -n "$4" ]; then
if [ -d "/$4" ]; then
dir=$4
else
echo "\"$4\" must be an absolute path (use \$PWD/ to get your current directory)."
return
fi
fi
echo $dir
if [ $(uname) = "Darwin" ]; then
open "http://localhost:$port" &
fi
echo docker run --rm -it -p$port:$2 -v"$dir":$5 $6 $7
docker run --rm -it -p$port:$2 -v"$dir":$5 $6 $7
}
apache() {
docker_fun 8080 80 "$1" "$2" /usr/local/apache2/htdocs httpd
}
jekyll() {
echo 1 $1 2 $2
docker_fun 4000 4000 "$1" "$2" /srv/jekyll jekyll/builder /bin/bash
}
