How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
docker run .... bash -c 'apt update && apt upgrade && bash'is what you're looking for. Or if you are building the docker image from scratch you could add a script in some path of the docker image and run it withdocker run .... /path/to/sciptbash(or any other command that does not exit) to avoid the container exits after the upgrade.docker export mycontainerid | docker import - myimagename) with the base distro plus all updates and extra packages you need, then use that for your disposable containers? If you don't auto-delete a container with--rm, you can export it (then manually delete it after exporting it). You could even add a script which does a full, no-questions asked upgrade & install extra packages (with commands appropriate for the base distro, fedora or ubuntu or whatever) in case you need to update it again, and then make a new image from the updated container.docker buildor needing a yaml dockerfile or whatever. Alternatively, don't--rmthe container, and just usedocker startto re-run it when you need it. That would only allow you to have one instance running at a time, though.
