SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Using an existing container's name or ID you can create a new image.

OPTIONS

-a, --author="" Author (e.g., "John Hannibal Smith hannibal@a-team.com")

-c , --change=[] Apply specified Dockerfile instructions while committing the image Supported Dockerfile instructions: CMD|ENTRYPOINT|ENV|EXPOSE|ONBUILD|USER|VOLUME|WORKDIR

-m, --message="" Commit message

-p, --pause=true|false Pause container during commit. The default is true.

EXAMPLES

Creating a new image from an existing container

An existing Fedora based container has had Apache installed while running in interactive mode with the bash shell. Apache is also running. To create a new image run docker ps to find the container's ID and then run:

# docker commit -m="Added Apache to Fedora base image" \
  -a="A D Ministrator" 98bd7fc99854 fedora/fedora_httpd:20

Apply specified Dockerfile instructions while committing the image

If an existing container was created without the DEBUG environment variable set to "true", you can create a new image based on that container by first getting the container's ID with docker ps and then running:

# docker commit -c="ENV DEBUG true" 98bd7fc99854 debug-image
