Docker

Docker is a useful tool if you want to experiment with Sming in an isolated environment.

If you’re unfamiliar with Docker, you can find a good overview in the article, What is a Container?.

This page shows how to create docker containers with all the necessary tools to build Sming applications.

Install Docker

Visit the official Docker Installation Page and follow the instructions tailored for your operating system.

Install docker-compose

Docker Compose makes dealing with the orchestration processes of Docker containers (such as starting up, shutting down, and setting up intra-container linking and volumes) really easy.

With docker compose we can define the entire multi-container application in a single file and spin it up using one command.

Visit the official Docker Compose Installation Page and follow the instructions tailored for your operating system.

Building images

You can find the related Docker scripts in $SMING_HOME/Tools/Docker.

To build your own images, do this:

cd $SMING_HOME/Tools/Docker/cli
docker-compose build
cd $SMING_HOME/Tools/Docker/ide
docker-compose build

Adjust your settings

sming-ide:

  build: .

  volumes:
    - ../../Sming/:/opt/sming/

 ports:
 #choose a free port to connect to the web C9 editor
 - "10080:80"

 devices:
   # uncomment to map your serial USB adaptor
   #- "/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0"

 privileged: true

Start your container

cd /opt/sming/Tools/Docker/ide && docker-compose up -d
