I created a docker script that takes inotify-command and adds comskip to it so that I can use it for automatic commercial detection but I dont see a way to create a Docker for testing using a local file.  Is it possible to do this or do I need to create a git repo, push my file and then add it to docker?

Yes. Simply use the command line, and issue direct 'docker' commands. That will create and generate your own docker image.

 

For instance after you create your "Dockerfile" with what commands and items to do, you create the image by telling docker to build

docker build -t friendlyhello .

 

There is no need for a GIT Repo unless you want to possibly share the source. If you want to share the final docker image then you will need a Docker Hub account to push the finalized image.

 

For those unfamiliar with it, here's the Docker starting guide:  https://docs.docker.com/get-started/  Part 2 goes over how to build your own Docker.

 

Great, thanks.
