A simple example

Create a sed image:

dockerize -t sed /bin/sed

Use it:

$ echo hello world | docker run -i sed s/world/jupiter
hello jupiter

A more complicated example

Create an image named thttpd:

dockerize -t thttpd \
  -a /var/www/thttpd /var/www \
  --entrypoint '/usr/sbin/thttpd -D' \
  --cmd '-d /var/www' \
  /usr/sbin/thttpd

Serve default content:

docker run thttpd

Serve your own content:

docker run -v /my/content:/var/www thttpd
