This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get your application up and running.


questions

  • ? what means mounted in "a file or directory on the host machine is mounted into a container" ?
  • ? why the volumes cannot be modify outside docker ?

Dockerfile basics

  • the container posess its own filesystem
  • we need to copy the files it uses inside this filesystem
  • we can do that with COPY

working

FROM scratch
WORKDIR /
COPY hello /
CMD [ "/hello" ]

working, when WORKDIR is absent, it's default is set to "/"

FROM scratch
COPY hello /
CMD [ "/hello" ]

not working, when CMD execute in shell form, instead of exec form []

FROM scratch
COPY hello /
CMD /hello

not working, because c executable need library <unistd.h>

FROM scratch
COPY hello_c /
CMD [ "/hello_c" ]

not working, when executable is copied to ".", because WORKDIR value is not "." but "/" since we gave it a relativ path so it was build in top of the implicit absolut path "/"

FROM scratch
WORKDIR .
COPY hello .
CMD [ "hello" ]

not working, when WORKDIR is set to the present directory and executable is not copied, because the workdir is not the present directory but a directory in the file system of docker : executable need to be copied there to function

FROM scratch
WORKDIR /home/simplonco/Desktop/42/14_inception/inception/srcs/requirements/mariadb
CMD [ "hello" ]

working, because "hello" is copied to "/" and execute from "/"

FROM scratch
WORKDIR .
COPY hello /
CMD [ "/hello" ]

ressources

docker compose

volumes vs bind mounts

  • bind mounts are normal files anywhere on the computer, that docker container can access with absolut path and modify. They can also be modified without docker, since they are juste files
  • volumes are only modifiable by docker, they don't need an absolut path, and they are not dependent of host architecture

tips

run without sudo on linux
