Docker

Procedure to build Docker image and container with the bot

• Clone the repository:

  $ git clone https://github.com/MadCoderZ/NewsBotIRC.git

  $ cd NewsBotIRC

• Edit config file src/main/resources/newsbot.properties

• Build the image

  $ docker build -t newsbot .

• Run a disposable containter to test it

  $ docker run --rm -it newsbot:latest

• If everything went well, create the container

  $ docker create --name newsbot newsbot

• Setup the container to be restarted in case of failure. Try only 5 times and then abort.

  $ docker update --restart=on-failure:5 newsbot

• Start the container

  $ docker start newsbot

Other useful commands:

List only running containers:

$ docker ps

List all containers:

$ docker ps -a

List images:

$ docker images

Remove container:

$ docker rm CONTAINER_ID

Remove image:

$ docker rmi IMAGE_ID

Note: To use Docker as a regular user, add said user to the docker group.
