Dockerized development tools

Dockerizing an application is the process of converting an application to run within a Docker container.

Prerequisites

You must have the following tools installed:

1. Git

sudo apt install git

2. Docker - https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo   "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
        $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install \
    docker-ce \
    docker-ce-cli \
    containerd.io

3. x11docker - https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker#installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/x11docker/master/x11docker | sudo bash -s -- --update

x11docker

Note that x11docker is just a bash script without library dependencies. Basically it is just a wrapper for X servers and Docker.

Clone project from Git repo into home directory

git clone ssh://git@bitbucket.upnetix.com:7999/dod/dockerized-tools.git

Increasing the amount of inotify watchers

Run this in terminal

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system
