Pass command line arguments to Docker container

[kickin6]

How do we pass command line arguments into the container?

You can overwrite the default CMD command and flags right in the docker run command:

docker run <image_name> <command> <flags>

Currently, the default Dockerfile CMD looks like this:

CMD ["python", "main.py", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8888", "--skip-pip"]

Let's suppose you want to change the port. You can run the container with:

docker run <image_name> python main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9999 --skip-pip

That's what I ended up doing which works. Cheers.
