Skycoin Docker image for development with VS Code IDE
This image has the necessary tools to build, test, edit, lint and version the Skycoin source code. It comes with Visual Studio Code installed and some extensions ot speed up workspace setup for Skycoin developers.
- Make sure you're on a system running X.
- GNU/Linux users should be ready to go
- Mac OS users can follow the following steps
brew install xquartz
- Important Log out and log back into OS/X
- Disable X access control (don't do this on a public-facing machine):
- GNU/Linux :
$ xhost +
or$ xhost +local:docker
- Mac OS : XQuartz users should follow these steps
open -a Xquartz
- With
xterm
active, open upXQuartz
in menu bar =>Preferences
=>Security
. There make sure theAllow connections from network clients
is checkedon
.
$ cd
to a path where you want to write some code (e.g. a working copy ofskycoin/skycoin
)- Since Visual Studio Code inside docker container runs as user
skydev
, it's necessary apply permissions to files.$ sudo chown -R 777 .
- Run docker image, either
skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:develop
orskycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
- GNU/Linux
$ docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \ -v $(pwd):$GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \ -w $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \ -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:develop
- Mac OS users running XQuartz should launch
socat
for Docker to be able to connect to the X server. Assumingen0
is your primary network interface$ brew install socat $ socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\" $ export IP=$(ifconfig en0 | sed -En 's/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p') $ docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \ -v $(pwd):$GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \ -w $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \ -e DISPLAY=$IP:0 \ skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:develop
- You should see vscode pop up.
- Have fun. Write some code. Close VS Code IDE window when you're done, and press
Ctrl+C
to shut down the container. Your files will be in the host machine at the same path chosen in step2
above. - Reenable X access control:
$ xhost -
For the sake of brevity, the examples that follow only include the invocation of docker
command for GNU/Linux. Beware of the fact that there will be differences in running the Docker images on other operating systems. The hints provided above will still be valid, though.
If you want add more extensions, you must define VS_EXTENSIONS
environment variable to the command-line with extensions you prefer.
$ docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-v $PWD:/go/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \
-w $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
-e VS_EXTENSIONS="ms-python.python rebornix.Ruby" \
skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
This downloads the skycoin source to src/skycoin/skycoin and changes the owner to your user. This is necessary, because all processes inside the container run as root and the files created by it are therefore owned by root.
If you already have a Go development environment installed, you just need to
mount the src directory from your $GOPATH
at path /go/src
inside the
container.
$ docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-v $GOPATH/src:$GOPATH/src \
-w $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
-e VS_EXTENSIONS="ms-python.python rebornix.Ruby" \
skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
The following arguments influence the Docker build process.
SOURCE_COMMIT
: the SHA1 hash of the commit being tested.IMAGE_NAME
: the name and tag of the Docker repository being built.DOCKERFILE_PATH
: the dockerfile currently being built.
For instance, the following commands can be executed in order to build this VS Code dev image using skycoindev-cli:develop
as base image.
$ git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin
$ cd skycoin
$ SOURCE_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
$ IMAGE_NAME=skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:develop
$ DOCKERFILE_PATH=docker/images/dev-vscode/Dockerfile
$ docker build --build-arg BDATE=`date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"` \
--build-arg SCOMMIT=$SOURCE_COMMIT \
--build-arg VS_EXTENSIONS="ms-vscode.Go windmilleng.vscode-go-autotest defaltd.go-coverage-viewer" \
-f $DOCKERFILE_PATH \
-t "$IMAGE_NAME" .
Or, if a decision has been made for including a Docker daemon then specify skycoindev-cli:dind
instead and run:
$ git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin
$ cd skycoin
$ SOURCE_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
$ IMAGE_NAME=skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
$ DOCKERFILE_PATH=docker/images/dev-vscode/Dockerfile
$ docker build --build-arg IMAGE_FROM="skycoin/skycoindev-cli:dind" \
--build-arg BDATE=`date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"` \
--build-arg SCOMMIT=$SOURCE_COMMIT \
--build-arg VS_EXTENSIONS="ms-python.python rebornix.Ruby"
-f $DOCKERFILE_PATH \
-t "$IMAGE_NAME" .
As a result of following theses steps two new images will be obtained:
skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:develop
based on skycoin/skycoindev-cli:develop
skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
based on skycoin/skycoindev-cli:dind
You can run commands by just passing the them to the image. Everything is run in a container and deleted when finished.
$ docker run --rm \
-v src:/go/src skycoin/skycoindev-cli \
sh -c "cd skycoin; make test"
$ docker run --rm \
-v src:/go/src skycoin/skycoindev-cli \
sh -c "cd skycoin; make lint"
Comman line tools are still available . For instance it's possible to run vim
$ docker run --rm \
-v src:/go/src skycoin/skycoindev-cli \
vim
$ docker run --privileged --name some-name -d skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
Create a data directory on the host system (outside the container) and mount this to a directory visible from inside the container.
The downside is that you need to make sure that the directory exists, and that e.g. directory permissions and other security mechanisms on the host system are set up correctly.
- Create a data directory on a suitable volume on your host system, e.g. /my/own/var-lib-docker.
- Start your docker container like this:
$ docker run --privileged --name some-name -v /my/own/var-lib-docker:/var/lib/docker \
-d skycoin/skycoindev-vscode:dind
- dep
- tig
- swig
- Ale
- tig-explorer
Docker Cloud is configured to build images from develop
branch on every push.
The same process is triggered for all feature branches matching the pattern
/^([^_]+)_t([0-9]+)_.*vscode/
. The tag generated for those images will be of the form
feature-{\1}-{\2}-vscode
.
