Change directory command in Docker?

You can run a script, or a more complex parameter to the RUN. Here is an example from a Dockerfile I’ve downloaded to look at previously:

RUN cd /opt && unzip treeio.zip && mv treeio-master treeio && \
    rm -f treeio.zip && cd treeio && pip install -r requirements.pip

Because of the use of ‘&&’, it will only get to the final ‘pip install’ command if all the previous commands have succeeded.

In fact, since every RUN creates a new commit & (currently) an AUFS layer, if you have too many commands in the Dockerfile, you will use up the limits, so merging the RUNs (when the file is stable) can be a very useful thing to do.
