ismailsunni/download repository overview

⁠docker-download

Just another way to download a file.

⁠How

1. Edit the dockerfile and add a command to download your file. E.g. RUN wget your_file_in_the_web
2. Let the docker hub build the Docker image.
3. After finished, pull it using this command docker pull ismailsunni/download
4. Run the container from the docker image. For example docker run -it --rm ismailsunni/download /bin/bash
5. Copy your file from the docker container. For example docker cp quirky_maxwell:/home/docker/microsoft-r-open-MRO-3.5.3.tar.gz .

⁠Use Case

Your internet is so slow to download a specific file from a specific website but you can access docker hub easily.

⁠Benchmark(?)

Manually download MRO source code : ~90 minutes

Using Docker download:

• Docker hub build: ~15 minutes
• Docker pull: ~2 minutes
• Copy from docker container to local: <1 minute (very fast)
• Update the docker file, push to github, etc: 1-5 minutes.

Total: ~20-25 minutes

⁠Benefit

• You don't need to make your laptop stay awake
• Backup in the cloud
• Share to other people easily
• Geek enough
