Handy Python container

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig \
                    -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa \
                    -v ~/repos/vimrc/vimrc:/root/.vimrc \
                    -v ~/.vim/spell:/root/.vim/spell \
                    -v $PWD:/app -w /app --name python python bash

If using git inside a container messes up permissions, you may consider to execute

git config --global --add safe.directory "*"

Check which ports are opened

ss -ltnp
