run-in-container

#!/bin/bash

# Use this script to run one-off commands inside a container of a pod where your
# Python application code lives in.

# You can accomplish the same results by using regular commands from OpenShift.
# This script is just wrapping calls to `oc` to make it a little more
# convenient to use. In the future, the `oc` cli tool might incorporate changes
# that make this script obsolete.

# Here is how you would run a command in a pod specified by label [1]:
#
# 1. Inspect the output of the command below to find the name of a pod that
#    matches a given label:
#
#     oc get pods -l <your-label-selector>
#
# 2. Open a bash shell in the pod of your choice.
#    Because of how the images produced with CentOS and RHEL work currently [2],
#    we need to wrap commands with `bash` to enable any Software Collections
#    that may be used (done automatically inside every bash shell).
#
#     oc exec -p <pod-name> -it -- bash
#
# 3. Finally, execute any command that you need and exit the shell.

# Usage examples:
#
#     ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py migrate
#     ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py createsuperuser
#     ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py shell
#
# If your Python pods are labeled with a name other than "django", you can use:
#
#     POD_NAME=name ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py check
#
# If there is more than one replica, you can also specify a POD by index:
#
#     POD_INDEX=1 ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py shell
#
# Or both together:
#
#     POD_NAME=frontend POD_INDEX=2 ./run-in-container.sh ./manage.py shell


# Get name of a currently deployed pod by label and index
POD_INSTANCE_NAME=`oc get pods \
  -l "name=${POD_NAME:-django}" \
  -t "{{ with index .items ${POD_INDEX:-0} }}{{ .metadata.name }}{{ end }}"`

# Run command in a container of the specified pod:
oc exec -p "$POD_INSTANCE_NAME" -it -- bash -c "${@:-echo}"
