Fix Bash Error in Docker
I really enjoy working with Docker because it gives me more insight into creating and maintaining your own environments, mostly from scratch. I instantly gained a greater appreciation for Ops engineers, package creators, and other engineers who work on low level software. I think what I'm trying to say is that I've made a whole bunch of mistakes and completed an insane amount of Google searches for help.
One of the more basic errors I've recently encountered was trying to run a bash script within the container, only to get the following error: env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory. I was under the impression that bash was always a given in Linux machines, but apparently not in alpine images. The fix was adding the following to my Dockerfile file:
RUN apk update && apk add bash
Or if you're in the machine, just run:
apk update && apk add bash
That command installs bash and your bash scripts should then work!

Sooner or later you'll run across a regular expression.

But what if you could decode regular expressions and harness their power? In...

One of the web components I've always loved has been Facebook's modal dialog. This "lightbox" isn't like others: no dark overlay, no obnoxious animating to size, and it doesn't try to do "too much." With Facebook's dialog in mind, I've created LightFace: a Facebook lightbox...

I'm back! David asked me to rope up some of my favorite stuff on CodePen again, which I both love doing, and wince at the thought of having to pick so few favorites. I like a ton of stuff on...
Alternatively, you can use
ashinstead of bash.Not sure what the differences are, but I would expect parity on most standard features.
If the script is simple you can use the default /bin/sh shell.
