Source bash profile when starting interactive Docker session
Running this opens bash interactively:
docker exec -it bash
However, it's not sourcing ~/.bash_profile, ie the bash_profile in the container. I've tried bash -i instead of bash at the end, but doesn't work. So how to make profile load when entering the container, as it would in a regular interative shell?
bash docker exec

Do you mean your.bash_profile, or one that is in the container instantiated from the image?

bash -lstarts a login shell (which sources.bash_profile);bash -istarts an interactive shell (which would source.bashrc).

add this to the container user .bashrc:
if [ -f ~/.bash_profile ]; then
. ~/.bash_profile
fi
You need to rebuild the image and copy the .bash_profile file too.
