Aquire container

Pull image from docker hub

docker pull beryj7/dicod-docker && \
    docker run -d --rm --name="dicod" -p2628:2628 beryj7/dicod-docker

Build and run container instance

The more involved method:

docker build . -t beryj7/dicod-docker:latest && \
    docker run --name="dicod" --rm -d -p2628:2628 beryj7/dicod-docker:latest 

Query

By attaching to DICT server container

The preferred query method.

docker exec dicod dico [<query-opts>] <word>

Via exposed port on host system

Assuming that dico or dict is installed on the host, an instance is running, and port 2628 is exposed, the following query should work:

dico -p 2628 <word>

Dico wrapper for [neo]vim
