How to pass commands to docker image?

[hailwood]

When running typesense via docker you use

docker run -p 8108:8108 \
            -v$(pwd)/typesense-data:/data typesense/typesense:0.25.2 \
            --data-dir /data \
            --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY \
            --enable-cors

When specifying my image.location as typesense/typesense:0.25.2 how can I pass through the --enable-cors flag etc?

Hello @hailwood. Sorry I am not very familiar with what these flags do

            --data-dir /data \
            --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY \
            --enable-cors

Are they valid flags for docker run 🤔

Hi @iamhopaul123

They're flags for the typesense-server program.

So the container has an ENTRYPOINT of /opt/typesense-server so what ends up getting run inside the container with that command is

/opt/typesense-server --data-dir /data --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY --enable-cors

It looks like there might be plans for it or something based on https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/docs/include/command/

But I tried doing

image:
  command: /opt/typesense-server --data-dir /data --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY --enable-cors

But it had no effect and when checking the task definition json under ecs that line has done nothing.

Cheers

I think for command it is on the top level. Can you try

command: /opt/typesense-server --data-dir /data --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY --enable-cors

Hi @iamhopaul123 we tried command at the top level and it wasn't picked up unfortunately.
