Docker image of MEEP

This repository contains the dockerfile to create the image pymeep hosted at https://hub.docker.com/r/scimax/pymeepimage/. It is originally based on sirgogos image but I have replaced everything completely with the installation instructions provided by Avadan Oskooi.

For more information on MEEP visist the official page at https://meep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

TODOs

Currently a 'latest? tag is missing. Furthermore the linking between meep and python was added to the Dockerfile but the image on Docker Hub is not up-to-date yet.

• Create version from latest Dockerfile
• Add tag "latest" to Docker hub

Getting the image from docker hub

docker pull scimax/pymeepimage

Run the image in interactive mode

docker run -it -v C:/path/to/host/directory:/home/hostSRC -v D:/:/home/hostSRC/Simulation-results pymeepimage

This will create a new image which you can restart after exiting the container with

docker start -i <container ID>

Build the image using dockerfile

To build the image place the dockerfile in a directory together with the shell script. Run

docker build -t pymeepimage .

Other useful commands

docker ps -a

lists all containers, independent from whether they are running or not.
