output of docker container

I have this docker file:

FROM php:7.4-cli
COPY . /src/
WORKDIR /src/
CMD [ "php", "./src/index.php" ]

ANd I’m using this two commands to run it:

docker build -t php_script .
winpty docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app php_script

How can I receive the output of my script in the text file and not in the terminal and can I automatize the process? For example to start the script everyday in the certain time?

Answer

Run container and write result to a file:

winpty docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app php_script >> /path/to/filename.txt

For the daily task create a cronjob cronjob -e and add line like:

# every day at 01.00 AM
0 1 * * * winpty docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app php_script >> /path/to/filename.txt
