So how to reverse engineering docker run command?

There is a github repository which try to reverse engineering docker run command, but it is not perfect currently, version is 0.1.2. You should follow it for updating. Maybe one day you can use it to get correct run command with it.

$ sudo pip install runlike

# run the ubuntu image
$ docker run -ti ubuntu bash

$ docker ps -a  
# suppose you get the container ID 1dfff2ba0226

# Run runlike to get the docker run command. 
$ runlike 1dfff2ba0226
docker run --name=elated_cray -t ubuntu bash

Github repository: runlike

Updates：

Run without installing (Thanks @tilo)

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
    assaflavie/runlike YOUR-CONTAINER

or set alias and put it in your shell’s profile

alias runlike="docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro assaflavie/runlike"

docker ps

runlike YOUR-CONTAINER
