Using the template

1. Install and set up rocker
2. Update bin/config.sh to suit your needs
3. Edit bin/extra_bashrc.sh if necessary (e.g. custom source/export/alias, etc.)
   • This file will be sourced in the .bashrc of the container
4. Modify docker/base.dockerfile if necessary
5. Run bin/build_base.sh to build the image
   • This may take up to 15 mins. I have yet to find a way to optimize this...
6. Run bin/start_container.sh to start the container (by default named ${IMAGE_NAME})
   • The bash shell entered defines the lifetime of the container. Exiting the shell automatically stops the container.
   • This entire repository will be mounted under /${WORKSPACE_NAME}.
   • Be sure to double check that modification from within the container are visible in the host , e.g. touch a new file in /${WORKSPACE_NAME} in the container and check if the file appears locally.
7. In vscode, run command "Remote-Container: Attach to Running Container..." and select container
8. Run bin/enter_container.sh to attach additional shells to the container
9. (optional) Use bin/compile.sh to compile the code in the container
