A Docker image is provided for development purposes, in order to ensure that the package can be built from a clean environment. This is not intended for production use of Raremetal.
It may also be useful for, eg, running on unsupported operating systems such as Mac OS. (subject to any resource limitations of the host VM)
If developing on Mac OS, you may need to install Docker for Mac.
docker build . -t raremetal2img
The image may be converted into a running container instance as follows:
docker run -it -d --name raremetal2container raremetal2img
Because the default command is to run a bash shell, it will remain running and can be addressed by name for further
commands. Eg, you can access an interactive shell to try the executable via:
docker exec -it raremetal2container /bin/bash
Or docker stop raremetal2container the container, then docker start raremetal2container later.
To clean up:
Remove unused/ stopped containers:
docker container prune
Remove unused build images (eg when rebuilding):
docker image prune
