How to pass parameters to push and run Docker images

[nabiltntn]

Hi,

I can't see in documentation how it's possible to pass parameters to run Dockee image like -p or
-e.

Is it possible to use them ?

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this:

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

Hi @nabiltntn

I assume you are referring to pushing a Docker app and want to set environment variables for the app?
You can either push the app with an app manifest file that declares the environment variables, or push your Docker app first (with cf push APP -o IMAGE) followed by cf set-env for each environment variable you want to set.

@dkoper if I run

cf push APP -o IMAGE
cf set-env APP VAR value

can't it be that the Docker container is already started without the variable VAR?

Is it necessary to run cf restage APP after cf set-env, like this?

cf push APP -o IMAGE
cf set-env APP VAR value
cf restage APP

Hi, any reason this is closed? is this supported?

I am looking for ways to push and run docker images with parameters like: -v "xxx:ccc" to mount certain volumes.

Is this doable?

@cheahkhing typically not. Your CF deployment would need to support volume services. See here for details:
