Axoloti docker image

#1

Hi all,

I used to run axoloti patcher in linux, but since the last update of my debian I had problems to get the Patcher working again.

To solve the problem, my first approach has been to setup a docker container running the patcher in Ubuntu 14.04.

Now that the container is working, I am thinking on making this container image available for the community to make it very simple to install.
I am not sure that this approach is worth since the image is ~450MB but it would work on any system supporting docker containers.

So I would like to ask you your opinion about this approach and if you are interested on it.

I have also register axoloti in the docker hub, in case this approach would be useful.

Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers!

I have no issues with running the patcher on debian (or derived) machines and I would not be interested in a docker image based on ubuntu 14.04

How are you attaching to the usb device using this image?

How did you install it? what version of JDK did you use?

docker image is now available at https://hub.docker.com/r/axoloti/patcher.
Once docker.io is installed in your system, one just needs to pull the image and run the container as:
docker pull axoloti/patcher:1.0.12-2
docker run -it --rm --name axoloti \
--net=host \
-e DISPLAY \
--privileged \
-v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb \
-v ${HOME}/.Xauthority:/home/user/.Xauthority \
-v ${HOME}/my-axoloti-contrib:/home/user/axoloti/axoloti-contrib \
axoloti/patcher:1.0.12-2

To access to the USB I mount it with:
-v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb
