docker-banner-gen

The docker-banner-gen command-line tool allows you to generate bash.bashrc files to be used within Docker containers. It is based on TensorFlow's bash.bashrc and uses pyfiglet to generate the banner.

Installation

You can install the tool with pip as follows (best to install it in a virtual environment):

pip install docker_banner-gen

Or download and install a Debian package, if you are running Debian/Ubuntu.

Usage

usage: docker-banner-gen [-h] [-t FILE] [-b TEXT] [-s TEXT] [-f FONT]
                         [-p TEXT] [-w COLS] [-o FILE] [-i] [-L] [-F FONT]

Generates bash.bashrc templates for docker with a custom banner (ASCII art via
pyfiglet).

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t FILE, --template FILE
                        The banner template to use if not using the built-in
                        one; use placeholders {BANNER} and {PS1} in the
                        template. (default: None)
  -b TEXT, --banner TEXT
                        The text to use for the banner (processed by
                        pyfiglet). Use the string '\n' (not the newline
                        character) to signal a line-break in the banner text.
                        (default: Banner)
  -s TEXT, --subtitle TEXT
                        The subtitle text to use below the banner (regular
                        text), e.g., a version number. (default: None)
  -f FONT, --font FONT  The figlet font to use for generating the banner.
                        (default: standard)
  -p TEXT, --ps1 TEXT   The text to use in the PS1 environment variable (used
                        in the prompt). (default: docker)
  -w COLS, --width COLS
                        The maximum width for the banner. (default: 80)
  -o FILE, --output FILE
                        The file to store the generated bash.bashrc code in;
                        prints to stdout if not provided. (default: None)
  -i, --print_templates
                        Outputs the default templates to stdout. (default:
                        False)
  -L, --list_fonts      Outputs the available fonts. (default: False)
  -F FONT, --print_font_info FONT
                        Outputs information about the specified font.
                        (default: None)

Example

Using the following command-line:

docker-banner-gen \
    -b "TF ObjDet" \
    -s 1.14.0_2019-08-31 \
    -p tf-objdet \
    -o $HOME/bash.bashrc

The generated $HOME/bash.bashrc file looks like this:
