Docker install for Windows failed

After running docker build . -t makelab_image for the first time, I received this error:

Err http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates/main imagemagick-6.q16 amd64 8:6.8.9.9-5+deb8u11

I just tried this on a second Windows machine and ran into the same issue:

Fixed it. Lots of people talking about this problem on the web. The fix was to change the apt-get stuff to a single line in the Dockerfile:

# Setup some other prereqs needed:
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get --assume-yes install imagemagick ghostscript sqlite3 

to:

# Setup some other prereqs needed:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get --assume-yes install imagemagick ghostscript sqlite3

Argh, almost there. I got through every step except for now I'm stuck on Step 13 of the readme.md instructions:

Run the local server using Docker. Use docker run -p 8000:8000 -ti -v ${pwd}/db:/code/db -v ${pwd}/media:/code/media -v ${pwd}/website:/code/website [tag]

I tried doing that but received an error:

PS D:\Git\makeabilitylabwebsite> docker run -p 8000:8000 -ti -v ${pwd}/db:/code/db -v ${pwd}/media:/code/media -v ${pwd}/website:/code/website makelab_image
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

Hmm, from my reading, this may be related to LF vs. CRLF line endings on Linux vs. Windows. I don't think I did Step 6 from the instructions, which state:

Before you clone the repository, run this command git config --global core.autocrlf false in the directory you will be cloning the repository to. Windows crlf is unrecognized in Linux, thus we must set this auto-conversion as false to prevent look-up errors.

I'm gonna try again but do this and report back. Since I use the github desktop tool, not sure how to do this exactly...

UPDATE: Maybe we should consider adding a gitattributes file that specifies the autocrlf settings for this repo? See: https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/

Aha, so following Step 6 fixed it. Yay!

And note to myself in the future, I just ended up dropping into terminal and running Step 6 in the root dir of where I was going to clone the ML website. At that point, you can then either continue using command line git commands to clone the repo or drop back up into the github desktop tool...
