Ability to use dunner with docker images whose entrypoint is defined

[apoorvam]

For Docker images whose entrypoint is defined and are run as an executable, Dunner fails to execute commands defined in it.

Example: Goreleaser's docker file.

Dunner task file:

tasks:
  release:
    steps:
      - image: goreleaser/goreleaser
        commands:
          - ["echo", "hello"]
          - ["goreleaser", "--version"]

Running this command with dunner fails with error as:

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: cannot exec a container that has stopped: unknown
FATA[2019-08-26 18:39:51] docker: command execution failed with exit code 126

Solutions discussed:

Solution 1:

Combine all user commands and pass it as default command(instead of current tail -f /dev/null as default command to create container) to execute the shell script Cons:

• Script has to be OS specific
• Might not be possible/hacky to get output of each command separately

Solution 2:

Find the entrypoint and override it with bash or cmd based on OS

Will research more on how this can be fixed and post update.

Resetting entrypoint seems to fix this issue. PR: https://github.com/leopardslab/dunner/pull/176

What if the entry point is something like /app/src/python/main/analyze.py? Then someone who uses this docker needs to put this again and again in commands, right?

tasks:
  release:
    steps:
      - image: SCoRe/MLKit
        commands:
          - ["/app/src/python/main/analyzer.py", "analyze", "--algo","ImageNet"]

Right, no default command/args will be set. User will have to use it in shell mode and not as an executable. @agentmilindu

Is some cases, users really don't know what is the entry point is. I strongly suggests against users having to define the entry point in commands.

WDYT @PratikDhanave @tdevinda @charithccmc @tharindupr @rehrumesh?
