docker: Create an image with a specific author in the metadata.
$ docker commit --author="${author}" ${container} ${image}:${tag}
try on your machine

This command is used in Docker to create a new image based on a container. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • docker commit: This is the Docker command used to create a new image from a container.
  • --author="${author}": This flag is used to specify the author of the new image. The value of the ${author} variable should be provided when running the command.
  • ${container}: This is the container ID or name of the container that you want to create an image from.
  • ${image}:${tag}: This is the name and tag of the new image that will be created. The ${image} variable represents the name of the image, and the ${tag} variable represents the version or tag of the image.

Putting it all together, the command docker commit --author="${author}" ${container} ${image}:${tag} is used to create a new Docker image from a container, specifying the author and providing a name and tag for the new image.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
