Run docker with config.json file

[wootwoot1234]

I'm trying to run in docker with a config file but I'm not sure I'm setting it up correctly.

This is the command I'm using to run it:

docker run --volume config.json:/app/config.json -d jdholtz/auto-southwest-check-in

This is my config file:

{
    "accounts": [
        {"username": "XXXXX", "password": "XXXXX"},
        {"username": "XXXXX", "password": "XXXXX"}
    ]
}

This is the error I get in docker:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/app/southwest.py", line 12, in <module>

    main(arguments)

  File "/app/lib/main.py", line 123, in main

  File "/app/lib/main.py", line 92, in set_up_check_in

    config = Config()

    config = self._read_config()

    with open(config_file) as file:

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

The docker volume syntax is very specific on how it mounts a file. In this case, using --volume ./config.json:/app/config.json. Using the absolute path also works.

Thank you for the quick reply. I tried that too but this is the error I got:

$ docker run --volume ./config.json:/app/config.json -d jdholtz/auto-southwest-check-in
docker: Error response from daemon: create ./config.json: "./config.json" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.

That's strange because that works for me. In this case, just use the absolute path then

That worked great, thanks!
