dshell: A little wrapper around the docker-compose run command that intelligently gets you a shell inside a container

dshell

#!/bin/bash

CONTAINER_ID=`docker ps -f status=running -f name=web_run -n 1 | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | cut -d' ' -f1`

if [[ "${CONTAINER_ID:0:9}" = "CONTAINER" ]]; then
  echo "No container exists, creating it (hit enter after a sec to bring up terminal)..."
  docker-compose run --service-ports web /bin/bash
  exit 0
fi

STATUS=`docker inspect --format='{{json .State.Status}}' $CONTAINER_ID`
echo -n "Found $CONTAINER_ID and it is currently $STATUS. "

if [[ "$STATUS" = '"running"' ]]; then
    echo "Shelling in..."
else
    echo "Starting and shelling in..."
    docker start $CONTAINER_ID
fi

if [[ "$#" -ne 0 ]]; then
	docker exec -i -t $CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash -c "$@"
else
  docker exec -i -t $CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash
fi

Be aware that this script is currently broken and doesn't execute the command you pass after running the container.
