Launching docker container in interactive mode

See original GitHub issue

I was expecting repo2docker https://github.com/binder-examples/conda-freeze /bin/bash to give me a shell inside the container. Instead it builds the image and then exits straight away.

I think this is because we would have to do the equivalent of docker run -it <image> /bin/bash but don’t. Should we add a --interactive CLI flag that turns on this behaviour?

Note: a solution to this is outlined in https://github.com/jupyter/repo2docker/issues/599#issuecomment-483402517. This would be a good way to get involved with contributing to repo2docker and something to help out with in general.

@betatim I like the idea of us printing the command.

Maybe a quick win is to have repo2docker --interactive ... (or some such) print out the docker run command to use as a form of syntactic sugar. Have you tried https://github.com/d11wtq/dockerpty?
