Add ability to drop image into container for interactive session #34

Closed lintool closed 5 years ago

lintool commented 5 years ago

This should be a sub-command to be able to drop an image (e.g., after init) into an interactive session. Then we could ssh into it and poke around. In the case of Elasticsearch, we could point a browser at a port and run interactive IR...

Just to clarify: do you mean that we should be able to pass in command-line arguments for python run.py prepare and python run.py search so that after it does the preparing/searching, jig does not exit, and we can then interact with the running container in another process?

So we want a --keep-alive flag or something that'll keep the container alive after prepare so we can docker exec -it <name> sh into after and be able to access services that have had their ports exposed, i.e. elasticsearch

lintool commented 5 years ago

I don't think it should be a flag... wouldn't it be easier as a subcommand just to drop the current image into a container? So it's not tied to any specific hooks?

charW commented 5 years ago

Then, we can just start a container running in the background with docker run -it -d <image> /bin/bash and then interact with it through docker exec -it <container_id> .... We don't need any additional code. Or maybe I'm still not quite understanding your intentions here?
