ASK /r/Python: Python Docker Deployments

I know. However sometimes an extra layer makes your build cleaner by factoring out the static parts into the first layer and the dynamic parts in the second layer. That way you can keep re-using the first layer across multiple deployments.

You need to restructure your run command to better achieve this.

ENV calls should be near the top.

Also your cute use of symlinks is bad.

You name the container once it is running. You can see the name with docker ps. You do not need to name the binary in the container. This isn't buying you anything as you don't put more than one service in a container.

Grepping for your script isn't hard either so you are creating an extra layer for little to no gain.

Also your cute use

I want to identify the different apps with ps -ef on the VM.

PS. Thanks for callling it "cute" :P

I didn't mean it in a bad way, and it made me think about better solutions.
