Wow amazing feedback. Completely agree about allowing users to take advantage of mounting volumes. I immediately opened an issue and think it's one of the higher priority items. github.com/rylandg/shrun/issues/12

As for ubuntu 19. Users are free to bring their own docker image, shrun build is mainly provided as a convenience for those unfamiliar with docker. But I actually use ubuntu 19 for real shrun tests because I want a runtime as close to a real user as possible. This might not make sense for some shrun users but it does for me. Maybe I'll add a few default image options to shrun for users who don't want to make their own but also want some level of control.

Thanks again for the awesome feedback.

I actually went and wrote a quick patch. shrun 0.0.56 now supports a volume flag. May not work perfectly, but should be more than enough to get by. One caveat is that I couldn't use -v flag as it's already used by Jest so I opted for --vo instead. Obviously you can also use --volume. I added an example in the shrun-basic-demo repo of usage here:

github.com/rylandg/shrun-basic-dem...

I'll probably add the option to use an alpine image later today.

Edit: I also just added an alpine image to the repo and reworked build command so it allows you to choose between ubuntu and alpine.

npx shrun build <command-name> --image alpine | ubuntu

Example is in demo repo json github.com/rylandg/shrun-basic-dem... under script name "build-alpine". Not an alpine expert but tried to port all config I use in ubuntu and didn't have trouble with local runs.

No problem. Tbh I was pretty annoyed with myself for not thinking of volumes for the initial release. Thanks so much for mentioning it, should also make nested docker possible.
