docker with bash

This is a Docker image directly derived from the Docker image docker, which is required whenever you need the docker tools within a container.

I use it regularly within Gitlab CI runners. Most recently I was wondering why a specific bash feature (variable indirection) wasn't available in a CI script. The reason was simple: the Docker docker image doesn't contain bash at all.

This image now is derived from the Docker docker image and just adds the bash, sed, gawk, curl, git and python3, pip and the Python modules xmltodict and pyyaml.

I would say: Use it the same way as the original image, you just have the additional stuff now.
