docker-run-kill

CLI wrapping docker run to kill container when CLI is terminated

What is it?

Terminating a docker run command does not always result in the container being killed. This CLI fixes that by wrapping docker run and killing the container before exiting when a termination signal is received.

Installation

npm

$ npm install docker-run-kill

yarn

$ yarn add docker-run-kill

Usage

$ docker-run-kill --help

Usage:  docker-run-kill [RUN-KILL OPTIONS] [KILL OPTIONS] [RUN OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

Run a command in a new container and kill that container when process is terminated.

Run-kill Options:
    --help           Output usage information
    --name string    Assign a name to the container (default is "docker_run_kill_{x}" where {x} is a random number)

Documentation for Kill Options & Run Options can be output with `docker kill --help` & `docker run --help` respectively.

*Important* To assign a name to the container, pass `--name` as a Run-kill Option, not a Run Option, since the latter won't be recognized.
