What is this?

#! (pronounced shebang) is a Unix convention that's typically used for scripting languages like Python and Bash. This abuses it to let you package applications in a cross-distro and cross-platform way. This example Dockerfile is a fullstack server that includes a backend, a database and a UI, all in a single file.

It's kinda like Cosmopolitan Libc but for packaging applications.

Why?

Why not?

Is it safe?

Probably not.

Should I use it?

If you want.

Is it performant?

Maybe.

Is it maintanable?

No.

Does it work?

Yes.

How do I run this?

chmod +x ./Dockerfile
./Dockerfile

Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8080

Many ways to build Docker image nowadays. This is a fun trick. Though I am really hoping a "wow this is better moment"...

@markstos

I've used podman run on a shebang line to run a containerized version of node instead of the system node. For a specific app where you know the right paths to mount into the container-- it worked fine for a specific case.

Otherwise, container images already run everywhere that Docker and Podman run and already a single file, leaving abusing Dockerfiles as a fun exercise.

nice, I made a program to automate this, embed all your project files into single Dockerfile file

So now you can optionally specify:

./Dockerfile time_range=60

to configure the behaviour of your app at runtime.

This uses the fact that Linux doesn't split the shebang arguments by spaces. It won't work on macOS, or any of the BSDs.

If you do not perform a first grep for writing image, two sha256: rows may be spewed by the script; the first one telling us about the base image.

I ported it over to Val Town!

Code: https://www.val.town/v/stevekrouse/backend_in_a_file
Live demo: https://stevekrouse-backend_in_a_file.web.val.run

I think there may be a frontend / css bug - would love any help debugging it or a PR on my val.

import { sqlite } from "https://esm.town/v/std/sqlite?v=4";
import { html } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/html";

sqlite.execute(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS backend_in_a_file_clicks (
  id   INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  time INTEGER NOT NULL
)`);

export default async function(req: Request): Promise<Response> {
  await sqlite.execute("INSERT INTO backend_in_a_file_clicks(time) VALUES(unixepoch())");
  const results = await sqlite.execute(
    "SELECT time as t, COUNT(*) as n FROM backend_in_a_file_clicks WHERE t > unixepoch()-4*60*60 GROUP BY t-t%60",
  );
  const data = (results.rows as any as [number, number][]).map(([t, n]) => [Math.floor(t / 60), n]);

There was a bug in the she-bang line:

#11 writing image sha256:72b14c1cfde038ddccb0e7b6c600c0c23cd48acf5a37ae3cffbd224f629ccb6e done
#11 DONE 0.0s
docker: Error response from daemon: No such image: >sha256:ffebb4405810c92d267a764b21975fb2d96772e41877248a37bf3abaa0d3b590.
See 'docker run --help'.

grep is reading the wrong line. (needs to be the last line), so i fixed the shebang line by using tac to reverse the file, and then grep -m 1 so if stops on first match. Final she-bang line:

#!/usr/bin/env -S bash -c "docker run -p 8080:8080 -it --rm \$(docker build --progress plain -f \$0 . 2>&1 | tee /dev/stderr | tac | grep -m 1 -oP 'sha256:[0-9a-f]*')"
