Scripts and configuration files to build & run dockers for robots in the lab

Quick start

Build

cd dockerfiles && ./build.sh [DIR], where DIR can be core or dev.

Run

• sh start.sh: start (continue exited container or start a new container)
• sh stop.sh: stop (do not remove container)
• sh remove.sh: remove container
• sh pause.sh: pause the container; do not stop
• sh unpause.sh: unpause
• sh into.sh: go into the container

You can also run ./thomas_steup.sh or put it in ~/.zshrc (zsh is used by default). It will ask to whether start or go into docker.

About docker

What is docker: [google it]. Two important concepts in using docker: image and container. For short, we first build an image, then start a container from the image.

• image: something like the ISO files with operating system.
• container: after install the OS, you can go into it and do whatever you want.

Directory structure

• dockerfiles:
  • core
  • dev
  • ...
• scripts:
  • init.sh
• start.sh, stop.sh, remove.sh, pause.sh, unpause.sh: see bellow.
• into.sh:
• thomas_setup.sh:
• install.sh:
• functions.sh:

States illustration:

• Initial: no container
• Running: container running
• Paused: container paused; processes are paused (not killed)
• Stopped: container stopped; all processes are killed; all memory is released
