How to add source file in command line?

[ggaaooppeenngg]

I know I can add file with ADD in Dockerfile. But sometimes I just want to do some little test like go run main.go. And I just want to do like

docker add image main.go
docker commit id 
docker run id go run main.go

But I find no the feature in the command line reference.Do I miss something in the documentation, or there is no the feature?

There used to be a feature called docker insert. It is deprecated (and will be removed in 0.12 IIRC), in favor of Dockerfiles and the ADD directive. It is, however, being discussed whether docker cp allow bidirectional copying (rather than just container-to-host).

Could I pass some parameters to Dockerfile? like

#
#
# Dockerfile to run main.go 
# VERSION 2 - EDITION 1

# Base image used is ubuntu with golang installed

FROM ubuntu:golang

#remove main.go if exists
RUN rm -f /home/main.go


#add main.go source file
ADD **$SRCFILE** /home/main.go

#run main.go

CMD ["go","run","home/main.go"]

Could I pass the path as $SRCFILE in Dockerfile ?

Like run the shell

sed 's/SRCFILE/main.go/g' Seedfile > Dockerfile

Is this a dup of #5846 ?

@crosbymichael You're right, I'll close this in favor of #5846.
