Containers

docker pull hdfgroup/hermes
docker run -it hdfgroup/hermes

Dockerfiles

There are two Dockerfiles at the top level of the Hermes repository. Three Docker images built from these Dockerfiles are available on Docker Hub:

• hdfgroup/hermes-deps:latest - The Hermes dependencies for developers.
• hdfgroup/hermes:latest - Hermes pre-built & ready to go

Running one of these docker containers usually involves mounting volumes or directories of the host system in the docker container via the -v option of the docker run command, for example:

docker run --rm -it -v <host mount point1>:<container mount point1> \
                    -v <host mount point2>:<container mount point2> \
                    ... \
           --entrypoint bash <container image ID>

Developers: Do a git pull and update the Git remotes if you want to keep your changes!

For Emacs Users

Editing files in a running container in Emacs (running on a host) is rather convenient with Tramp and docker-tramp.el. For example:

C-x C-f /docker:user@container:/path/to/file

where
  user           is the user that you want to use inside the container (optional)
  container      is the id or name of the container

Multiple hops are supported as well.
