bring-a-ping

a half pointless module that prints a string back to the command line

used to test basic docker functionality in other modules test suites

install

node:

$ npm install bring-a-ping -g

docker:

$ docker pull binocarlos/bring-a-ping

usage

node:

$ bring-a-ping
ping

docker:

$ docker run --rm binocarlos/bring-a-ping
ping

You can change the string and loop over it:

$ bring-a-ping --string apples --timeout 2000
apples
apples
...

options

Usage: bring-a-ping [arg...]

 -s, --string=ping          what string to ping
 -t, --timeout=1000         loop and ping every X milliseconds

why?

Because I needed a throwaway docker image that is lightweight and throwaway.

This means in tests I can docker pull then docker rmi --no-prune and it dont take much time.
