This lets you debug a container by running an interactive shell, or 26 export a working dataset to another server. 27 28 Commits do not include any data contained in mounted volumes. 29 30 By default, the container being committed and its processes will be paused 31 while the image is committed. This reduces the likelihood of encountering data 32 corruption during the process of creating the commit. If this behavior is 33 undesired, set the `--pause` option to false. 34 35 The `--change` option will apply `Dockerfile` instructions to the image that's 36 created. Supported `Dockerfile` instructions: 37 `CMD`|`ENTRYPOINT`|`ENV`|`EXPOSE`|`LABEL`|`ONBUILD`|`USER`|`VOLUME`|`WORKDIR` 38 39 ## Examples 40 41 ### Commit a container 42 43 ```console 44 $ docker ps 45 46 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 47 c3f279d17e0a ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours desperate_dubinsky 48 197387f1b436 ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours focused_hamilton 49 50 $ docker commit c3f279d17e0a svendowideit/testimage:version3 51 52 f5283438590d 53 54 $ docker images 55 56 REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED SIZE 57 svendowideit/testimage version3 f5283438590d 16 seconds ago 335.7 MB 58 ``` 59 60 ### <a name="change"></a> Commit a container with new configurations (--change) 61 62 ```console 63 $ docker ps 64 65 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 66 c3f279d17e0a ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours desperate_dubinsky 67 197387f1b436 ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours focused_hamilton 68 69 $ docker inspect -f "{{ .Config.Env }}" c3f279d17e0a 70 71 [HOME=/ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin] 72 73 $ docker commit --change "ENV DEBUG=true" c3f279d17e0a svendowideit/testimage:version3 74 75 f5283438590d 76 77 $ docker inspect -f "{{ .Config.Env }}" f5283438590d 78 79 [HOME=/ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin DEBUG=true] 80 ``` 81 82 ### Commit a container with new `CMD` and `EXPOSE` instructions 83 84 ```console 85 $ docker ps 86 87 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 88 c3f279d17e0a ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours desperate_dubinsky 89 197387f1b436 ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours focused_hamilton 90 91 $ docker commit --change='CMD ["apachectl", "-DFOREGROUND"]' -c "EXPOSE 80" c3f279d17e0a svendowideit/testimage:version4 92 93 f5283438590d 94 95 $ docker run -d svendowideit/testimage:version4 96 97 89373736e2e7f00bc149bd783073ac43d0507da250e999f3f1036e0db60817c0 98 99 $ docker ps 100 101 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 102 89373736e2e7 testimage:version4 "apachectl -DFOREGROU" 3 seconds ago Up 2 seconds 80/tcp distracted_fermat 103 c3f279d17e0a ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours desperate_dubinsky 104 197387f1b436 ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash 7 days ago Up 25 hours focused_hamilton 105 ```
