Create docker compose file to pull code from a repo

Question

I need to create a docker compose file, through which I need to pull the latest files from a repo and run a python command. I searched many samples, but couldnt get any help.

So what I need to do is :

1. Clone the repo and get the latest scripts
2. Execute a python command.

So everytime, I do a docker-compose down and then docker-compose up, It will fetch the latest files from the repo. Please help me to create the docker compose file.

Why do you need a docker-compose ? Can't you just write a shell script ? Do you have a Dockerfile ? — Mickael B., Jan 07 '20 at 18:25
I dont have a dockerfile. Thought this will be easy to maintain @MickaelB. — wanderors, Jan 07 '20 at 18:30
Do you need to containerize this task or you want to pull and execute on your computer ? — Mickael B., Jan 07 '20 at 18:31

Here is the Dockerfile

FROM python

RUN git clone https://github.com/blackbird71SR/Hello-World

CMD ["python", "Hello-World/HelloWorld.py"]

Then you can build it and run it this way

docker build -t some_name .
docker run some_name

Thanks for the help. But what if the repo is private and needs to pass credentials – wanderors Jan 07 '20 at 19:01
