Portable linux workspace

A container with a set of familiar tools

if for some reason you have to work in an unfamiliar environment - this can help you

Installation instructions as "Visual Studio Code" terminal

Dependencies:

Windows:

• Docker-desktop (tested on WSL2)
  • Download
• Windows Terminal (for theme)
  • Download

MacOs:

• Docker-desktop
  • Download

How to use it:

Docker desktop should be running!

Check that your Powershell has an alias for cd. If not, replace the cd in the construction below with Set-Location -Path

• Git clone to your favorite empty folder or download and extract the archive into it

• Open Windows Terminal with PowerShell:

  cd \path\to\you\favorite\folder

  docker-compose up -d

  docker ps

  docker exec -it (copy and paste the name or id from the command output above) bash

• On MacOS, the same actions need to be performed in Terminal

After installation, inside container:

• Change $HOME/.config/base16-shell/scripts/base16-material-palenight.sh in .bashrc, if don't like the default theme
• Run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, to set the desired time zone

Your needs may be broader than mine. Edit the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml according to your needs.

Caution!

Git changes the newline character by default, which can cause problems when building the image. Comment on anything Vim-related, or study THIS and take action.
