TreeMaker Docker

TreeMaker 5 running in Docker with a browser-based GUI via noVNC.

Requirements

• Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine + Compose plugin)

First run

docker-compose up --build

Build takes ~5 minutes (compiles TreeMaker from source). Subsequent starts are instant.

Daily use

docker-compose up

Open http://localhost:6080 in your browser. The TreeMaker window appears in the noVNC canvas.

docker-compose down   # stop

Saving files

The ./files directory next to docker-compose.yml is mounted at /files inside the container. When saving a .tmd file, navigate to /files in the file dialog to persist it on your host machine.

Rebuilding after source changes

docker-compose up --build
