This is a simple wrapper around the docker cli tool. When you are in a directory with a Dockerfile you can run dkr build to build the project. The image will have the same name as the directory the Dockerfile is in
To run the container from the image dkr run which will start the container, daemonised with the necessary ports published according to the EXPOSE commands in the file
You can connect with dkr connect which will open a bash shell
Finally the container can be stopped with dkr stop and deleted with dkr delete
For the confident you can build, run and connect all in one go dkr build run connect and each command will be executed providing the previous command did not fail. dkr build run connect stop delete is also a thing :P
dkr [--file otherdocker.yml] build|run|connect|stop|delete
The optional --file flag will allow you to override the Dockerfile
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
build |

run |

The dockerfile can contain various extra tags that will allow dkr to run things for you
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
#RUN |
Anything after this will be passed to the run command |
#BUILD |
Anything after this will be passed to the build command |
#IGNORE |

#NAME |
By default the container name is the same as the directory but this tag will allow you to set a name |
