Parameterized or Environment Variable Fargate Task Launches? about fargatecli HOT 9 CLOSED

Yeah, --env is strictly for environment variables. --command is planned for the next release as I mentioned above.

Hmm, you should be able to do something like this:

fargate task run <task name> --image <image uri> --env S3_PATH=s3://bucket/key

Was there an issue with that beyond the need to pass --env?

from fargatecli.

Just the S3 path like you describe would work perfectly as long as it gets set within the Fargate task. I will test this and share my results.

Ok so another issue. Apparently Docker images don't support the standard init runlevel process, so executing the various bits of functionality needed to process the passed S3_PATH environment string is not possible.

I looked a the documentation for fargate task run but didn't see any option to specify a command with the Fargate task launch. Without support for the init process. how do you launch programs within the container using fargate task run? I am trying to avoid ENTRYPOINT or CMD as the image I am using has been modified heavily from a Docker hub pull and not built from a Dockerfile.

I'm going to be adding a --command flag in the next release as per this feature request: #7.

from fargatecli.

It looks like ECS supports passing COMMAND or ENTRYPOINT:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task_definition_parameters.html#container_definition_environment

But it looks like maybe fargate cli has implemented just the --env option as an equivalent docker run --env?

Could CMD or ENTRYPOINT JSON be passed with --env, or is that implemented strictly for environment variables only per docker run --env?

Cool, thanks for the info. Back to building from a Dockerfile it is then.

Needs --command so badly as well

Thanks @kwent! I will be adding this in the next release. I have a fair amount of refactoring to complete to get 0.3.0 done, and I will get it out as soon as I can.
