How can I run a container with dagger?

[pearl owl]

I know that dagger is used to replace docker build.
So I propose two ways.
1- Maybe someone has the key to run containers within dagger (using Python SDK)
2- How can I build docker images to use them with docker cli?

If the answer of the second is "publish the image to a platform"... I need these images be private

👋 for 2 you can use the Export feature to load it into your docker engine afterwards https://docs.dagger.io/252029/load-images-local-docker-engine/#approach-1-use-an-exported-tarball

I'm not entirely sure I understand 1. What's the use-case?

case 1 is all-in-one python SDK pipeline

Thanks! I'll work with

you mean building and running the container?

I guess it really depends on where you want to run that container, but if that's docker , you can definitely orchestrate all that in python if required.

• Use the Dagger SDK for the build pipeline
• Use the python docker SDK to load and run the container

the main reason why running the container is not part of the Dagger python SDK is because it's a different model entirely if you're planning to do it for long lasting tasks
