If you’re looking to run docker images as daemon processes, or interactively, below are some command-line parameters I’ve found useful when using docker run command:
-d- runs the image as a daemon, not interactive--restart=always- tells docker to always restart this image if the host is rebooted-p (internal port):(external port)- tells docker which TCP ports to expose via the host’s network--mount type=tmpfs,destination=/path- tells docker to mount a temporary filesystem, specifying the path inside the image to /path-
-e TZ=Australia/Melbourne- adds an environment variable “TZ” with a value of “Australia/Melbourne”Side note: when running the Azure Functions runtime on a Linux host, the environment variable
TZcan be set with a value from the tz database - this Wikipedia article lists all available tz values in the TZ database name column.Second side note: The environment variable to disable an Azure Functions Timer trigger function is: -e
AzureWebJobs.TimerFunctionName.Disabled=1 --privilegedenables privileged access from the image to the host OS - this is useful if the container needs to mount a CIFs / SMB / Windows share-v /external/host/path:/internal/path- mounts a directory from the host to be available inside the image-
--log-driver=journald- sends the log output that normally goes to stdout whendocker runis executed with the-iinteractive flagSide note: once the daemon image is running with
--log-drive=journalduse the following command to tail the output:journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=image-name -f --name image-namespecifies the name of the image which can be used in subsequentdocker stopanddocker rmcommands
