You're trying to build a Docker image from the current directory (.
) and
tag it as openai-whisper
. Here's what you can expect:
- Dockerfile: Make sure there is a file named
Dockerfile
in your current working directory. This file contains the instructions for building the Docker image. - Build process: The
docker build
command will:- Read the instructions from the
Dockerfile
. - Create a new Docker image with the specified tag (
openai-whisper
). - Execute each instruction in the
Dockerfile
, which may include:- Copying files from your local machine to the container.
- Installing dependencies (e.g., Python packages).
- Running commands or scripts.
- Read the instructions from the
- Image creation: The build process will create a new Docker image and store it on your local machine.
If everything goes smoothly, you should see an output like this:
Sending build context to Docker daemon 2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM python:3.13-slim
---> 7b44ac69c2ce
Step 2/2 : COPY . /app
---> e7a9b0a8e4f5
Successfully built e7a9b0a8e4f5
Successfully tagged openai-whisper:latest
This indicates that the build process was successful, and you now have a
Docker image with the tag openai-whisper
and the latest version.
Remember to run docker images
or docker ls
to verify that the image
has been created and is available for use.
A daemon, in this context, refers to a background process that runs continuously, performing tasks without user intervention. To run a daemon from your Docker image, you'll need to:
- Create a script: Write a shell script (e.g.,
run-daemon.sh
) that contains the commands needed to run your daemon. - Copy the script to the container: In your
Dockerfile
, copy the script file into the container using theCOPY
instruction:
COPY run-daemon.sh /app/run-daemon.sh
- Make the script executable: Use the
RUN
instruction to make the script executable:
RUN chmod +x /app/run-daemon.sh
- Run the daemon script as a background process: Use the
CMD
instruction to run the script as a background process:
CMD ["/app/run-daemon.sh", "&"]
The &
at the end of the command tells the shell to run the command in
the background.
Here's an example Dockerfile
snippet:
FROM python:3.13-slim
COPY requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r /app/requirements.txt
COPY run-daemon.sh /app/run-daemon.sh
RUN chmod +x /app/run-daemon.sh
CMD ["/app/run-daemon.sh", "&"]
In this example, the run-daemon.sh
script is assumed to be responsible
for running your daemon. You'll need to modify the script to contain the
necessary commands to run your daemon.
Once you've built and tagged your Docker image, you can start a container from it using:
docker run -d --name my-container openai-whisper
The -d
flag runs the container in detached mode (i.e., background). The
--name
flag assigns a name to the container.
