Bash Command Templating For Docker

I have a commonly typed and now tedious command to start and link a docker container. It's something like:

docker run -d --name my-running-container --link app:some-app-command --link rabbitmq:amq --link mysql:db --link neo4j:neo --link solr:solr my-image

I would prefer to just execute:

docker run --name my-running-container my-image

How can i achieve this?

Thanks

You can create a simple bash script named docker or whatever name you like:

#!/bin/bash
DOCKER=`which docker`
$DOCKER run -d --name $1 --link rabbitmq:amq --link mysql:db --link neo4j:neo --link solr:solr $2

and then run it like ./docker my-running-container my-image

The same thing could be achieved with bash alias:

alias docker='docker run -d --name $1 --link rabbitmq:amq --link mysql:db --link neo4j:neo --link solr:solr $2'

If you want to save the alias just add it at the end of ~/.bash_aliases and reload your shell.
