Docker remote api data streaming

[hychan]

I'm using Ruby gem 'docker-api' with a Docker daemon running on a remote server.

I ran into timeout issue when I want to get output from running a command inside the container.

create an image

image = Docker::Image.create('fromImage'=>'base')

insert a local file into the image

image.insert_local('localPath'=>['/root/docker_scripts/install_prereqs.sh', '/root/docker_scripts/weaver_script.sh'], 'outputPath'=>'/tmp/')

get the image id from the response

image_data = eval("image.json")
puts image.json
image_id = image_data["id"]
inputs = Hash.new
inputs["Image"] = image_id
inputs["Cmd"] = ['ls -al']

create a container with the image id and the command 'ls -al'

myContainer = Docker::Container.create(inputs)

start the container and stream the output

myContainer.tap(&:start).attach {|stream,chunk| puts "#{stream}: #{chunk}"}

RESPONSE:
read time out reached
.docker_9f738e00-3424-0131-e558-525400c6ff8e [Status: failed]

Can you reproduce with the Docker CLI?

If you can reproduce with the Docker CLI, please explain how (since we don't all have a Ruby environment here, and it will be much easier to fix the problem if it can be reproduced with standard tools).
If you cannot reproduce with the Docker CLI, it is probably an issue with the Ruby gem.

Thank you!

image.insert_local('localPath'=>['/root/docker_scripts/install_prereqs.sh', '/root/docker_scripts/weaver_script.sh'], 'outputPath'=>'/tmp/')

I was unable to find the CLI that will accomplish the above step ( insert_local), could you please show mw an example how it can be represented using the CLI ?

Thank you.

ping @hychan is this still an issue?

Close as "stale"? It's very old now and there's no new information if this is still an issue. Also, this can be an issue with Ruby Gem, not Docker,
