docker-runner-cli

Running various CLI in Docker within Emacs buffer

Installation

The best way to install it is from MELPA

M-x package-install [RET] docker-cli [RET]

Manually package can be installed by putting docker-cli.el somewhere on the load path and requiring it in init.el

(require 'docker-cli)

Extending

If you need to add new commands to execute in Docker containers just add new element to the docker-cli-commands-alist list. For details view documentation for the list. In short you will have to define command that will be executed. If command needs additional parameters they can be composed through :arguments-compose-func part of list element and regular expression for comint prompt handling (view comint mode for details).
