‼️ Very much work in progress!

The container

The Dockerfile contains two container definitions:

• a CI container which should contain everything necessary to build C++ applications and run their tests
• a DEV container which inherits the CI container and adds debugging tools like Valgrind, gdb, etc.

The compose file contains a basic setup to run the DEV container locally. Since some IDEs depend on an SSH connection to a container (or for remote development in general), SSHD is started in the service defined by the compose file.

The user for the Docker container is dev. The compose file maps ~/git on the host machine to /home/dev/git in the container, so I suggest that you check out your project there.

Scripts

The scripts directory has a few helpers for easier building and running of the container and executing commands in it. Consider adding the scripts directory to your path for ease of use.

Building the container image

docker4c build (re)builds and tags the container image

Starting

docker4c up starts the container in the background

Stopping

docker4c down stops the running container

Entering the container/Running commands

• Via ssh: ssh dev@localhost -p 2222 , password is dev
• Via docker exec: docker4c run
  • without commands: logs into the container via bash
  • with commands: executes the given commands in the container

docker4c run starts the container if it is not active yet and changes to the working directory it is called from if it exists inside the container (including ${HOME} -> /home/dev mapping)
