runlike
Generates Docker run commands from existing containers, saving time on manual command reconstruction.
What is runlike?
Runlike is a command-line utility that generates the exact Docker run command needed to recreate an existing container. It solves the problem of manually reconstructing complex container configurations by automatically extracting all runtime options—like ports, volumes, environment variables, and network settings—from a running or stopped container. This saves significant time and reduces errors when you need to run a copy of a container without referring to original deployment scripts.
DevOps engineers, system administrators, and developers who work with Docker containers and need to manually recreate or debug container configurations, especially those originally deployed via infrastructure-as-code tools.
Developers choose Runlike because it automates the tedious and error-prone process of manually reconstructing Docker run commands. Its unique selling point is the ability to generate production-ready commands directly from existing containers, saving time and ensuring accuracy compared to manually parsing docker inspect output or digging through deployment scripts.
Overview
Given an existing docker container, prints the command line necessary to run a copy of it.
