rekcod

A simple module to reverse engineer a docker run command from an existing container (via docker inspect). Just pass in the container names or ids that you want to reverse engineer and rekcod will output a docker run command that duplicates the container.
This is not super robust, but it should hopefully cover most arguments needed. See Fields Supported below.
This module calls docker inspect directly, and the user running it should be able to as well.
(If you didn't notice, the dumb name for this package is just "docker" in reverse.)

Install and Usage

CLI

$ npm i -g rekcod

# single container
$ rekcod container-name

docker run --name container-name ...

# multiple containers
$ rekcod another-name 6653931e39f2 happy_torvalds

docker run --name another-name ...

docker run --name stinky_jones ...

docker run --name happy_torvalds ...

# all containers!
$ sudo rekcod $(sudo docker ps -aq)

Module

$ npm i --save rekcod

const rekcod = require('rekcod')
// single container
rekcod('container-name', (err, run) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  console.log(run[0].command)
})
// multiple containers
rekcod(['another-name', '6653931e39f2', 'happy_torvalds'], (err, run) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  run.forEach((r) => {
    console.log('\n', r.command)
  })
})

Fields Supported

rekcod will translate the following docker inspect fields into the listed docker run arguments.

docker inspect	docker run
Name	--name
HostConfig.Binds	-v
HostConfig.VolumesFrom	--volumes-from
HostConfig.PortBindings	-p
HostConfig.Links	--link
HostConfig.PublishAllPorts	-P
HostConfig.NetworkMode	--net
HostConfig.RestartPolicy	--restart
Config.Hostname	-h
Config.ExposedPorts	--expose
Config.Env	-e
Config.Attach* !== true	-d
Config.AttachStdin	-a stdin
Config.AttachStdout	-a stdout
Config.AttachStderr	-a stderr
Config.Tty	-t
Config.OpenStdin	-i
Config.Entrypoint	--entrypoint
Config.Image || Image	image name or id
Config.Cmd	command and args

Prior to version 0.2.0, rekcod always assumed -d for detached mode, but it now uses that only when all stdio options are not attached. I believe this is the correct behavior, but let me know if it causes you problems. A side effect of this is that the -d shows up much later in the docker run command than it used to, but it will still be there.
