Docker Dev Deps

Install python, node, gulp, npm, express, yarn, php, grunt without installing the required dependencies.

What does it do?

Basically this script installs or uninstalls some common development tools and interpreter as docker commands. It writes some bash files which get symlinked into the /usr/bin directory.

Why using it

By using docker as environment for the tools and interpreter there are no local dependency conflicts and there is no need to install the software locally on your host system. With replacing this commands even IDEs can get used as if the software would be installed locally.

How to install and uninstall

Install

1. Checkout this repository by running following command: git clone tbd docker-deps
2. Change into the directory docker-deps: cd docker-deps
3. For installing run following command bash setup.sh install or ./setup.sh install

Uninstall

1. For uninstalling run following command bash setup.sh uninstall or ./setup.sh uninstall

Which tools and interpreter are included

Name	Version	Source
python	latest	Docker Repo
node	latest	Docker Repo
gulp	latest	Dockerfile in dockerfiles/gulp
npm	latest	Docker Repo
express	latest	Dockerfile in dockerfiles/express
yarn	latest	Docker Repo
php	latest	Docker Repo
grunt	latest	Dockerfile in dockerfiles/grunt

How to run the commands

Name	Command	Example
python	python-docker	python-docker --version
node	node-docker	node-docker --version
gulp	gulp-docker	gulp-docker --version
npm	npm-docker	npm-docker --version
express	express-docker	express-docker --version

grunt	grunt-docker	grunt-docker --version

How to extend

• Get a remote image

  1. Open file "setup.sh"
  2. Extend LIST-Array like that: ["containername"]=external:imagename[:tag]
  3. Resulting command name would be: containername-docker --version

• Use a custom build image

  1. Open file "setup.sh"
  2. Extend LIST-Array like that: ["containername"]=local:dockerfiles/imagename
  3. Resulting command name would be: containername-docker --version

Some planned features

1. Possible custom configuration to extend tools and interpreter list
2. Possible custom configuration of installation path
3. Possible custom configuration of command appendix
4. Possibility to overwrite existing bins with the docker ones (backup old bins and restore it when commands get uninstalled)
5. Compatible to shell
6. Compatible to macOS
