See the logs of the docker when the docker runs in a detached mode ?

docker logs -f <container-id>

Close the container by giving time to close all the operations inside it ?

Dockerfile for a simple flask/python application ?

FROM python:3.8-slim-buster 
WORKDIR /backend 
ARG URL 
ENV ENVIRONMENT=""
COPY ./service/requirements.txt /backend/service/requirements.txt 
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r /backend/service/requirements.txt 
COPY ./service /backend/service
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["uvicorn", "service.app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080"]

Clean up

docker kill $(docker ps -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rmi $(docker images -q)

Conditional Logic in Docker Build

FROM node:alpine

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY package.json /usr/src/app/
RUN npm install
COPY . /usr/src/app
ENV PORT 3000
ARG DOCKER_ENV
ENV NODE_ENV=${DOCKER_ENV}
RUN if [ "$DOCKER_ENV" = "stag" ] ; then  echo   your NODE_ENV for stage is $NODE_ENV;  \
else  echo your NODE_ENV for dev is $NODE_ENV; \
fi

when you build this Dockerfile with this command

docker build --build-arg DOCKER_ENV=stag -t test-node .You will see at layer

---> Running in a6231eca4d0b your NODE_ENV for stage is stagWhen you run this docker container and run this command your output will be

/usr/src/app # echo $NODE_ENV
