General

Hi everyone

1-I want to create image
2-copy a directory from host to image (/home/app)
3-give execute permission to sh file that locate in that image
4-run container
5-run sh file in that container

How can I do these steps in single dockerfile? or I should use docker compose?

Thanks

You need a Dockerfile to build the docker image.
You need a docker-compose.yml file to run a container from the docker image if you want to do a docker-compose up or a docker stack deploy.
You can have the docker-compose.yml file build the image when you issue a docker-compose up by coding a build: statement in the docker-compose.yml file.

Example.

🐳  gforghetti@172.28.128.14:[~/test]] $ ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x   5 gforghetti  staff   160 Feb  5 09:16 .
drwxr-xr-x  52 gforghetti  staff  1664 Feb  5 09:32 ..
-rw-r--r--@  1 gforghetti  staff  1226 Feb  5 09:28 Dockerfile
-rw-r--r--   1 gforghetti  staff    48 Feb  5 09:16 docker-compose.yml
-rw-r--r--   1 gforghetti  staff    39 Feb  5 09:15 test.sh

Dockerfile

🐳  gforghetti@172.28.128.14:[~/test] $ cat Dockerfile
FROM alpine:latest
ARG BUILDDIR="/home/app"
WORKDIR ${BUILDDIR}

RUN chmod ugo+x ${BUILDDIR}/test.sh

docker-compose.yml

🐳  gforghetti@172.28.128.14:[~/test] $ cat docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'

services:

  app:
    build: .

test.sh script

🐳  gforghetti@172.28.128.14:[~/test] $ cat test.sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh

echo 'Hello World!'

Build and run the app with docker-compose

🐳  gforghetti@172.28.128.14:[~/test] $ docker-compose up

Once the image is created you can also just do a docker container run.
