Hello, I want to run a container and give it a maximum of N seconds to run after which I’d like the container terminated. Here is what I’m doing: 1. docker run ... & # run it in the bg, get pid into $pid, etc. 2. get the container id in bash: cid=`docker ps -aq | awk '{print $1}'`, 3. nohup some…

Hi, the correct way of doing this would be for the code, in the container, to stop it.

What is the best way to run a container for a maximum of N seconds?

Of course! What was I thinking!

Thanks Martin,
