Docker setup

Docker

You can use docker to setup an environment with googletest that you can use for this library. Use the following steps to setup the environment.

Create a docker image

This command uses a Dockerfile file to configure the docker image. Make sure to run this command on the folder where the file is located.

Pattern

docker build -t <tag>:<version> <directory with Dockerfile>

Example

docker build -t pinventado/gtestenv:latest -t pinventado/gtestenv:1.0 .

Run the docker container

Pattern

docker run -it -d --name <name> <image name>

Example

docker run -it -d --name gtest gtestenv

Alternatively, you can also attach it to a volume to allow editing files from the host OS.

Pattern

docker run -it -d -v <absolute path in local machine>:<path in container> --name <name> <image name>

Example

docker run -it -d -v /Users/pinventado/Dropbox\ \(CSU\ Fullerton\)/Research/ILXL/CPP/volume/:/home/ --name gtest

Connect to the docker container

Pattern

docker attach <id or name>

Example

docker attach gtest

Disconnect from the docker container

You can disconnect from the container to go back to your host OS, but keep it running in the background. Press the following keys from inside the docker container.

CTRL+P+Q

Shutdown the docker container

If you are done using the docker container, you can exit out of it and this will shutdown the container. Take note that you will lose all data in the container when you shut it down. Running the container using the same image will open an entirely new instance. Type the following command from inside the docker container.

exit
