Neuron is available through Whalebrew

[colindean]

Neuron has been added to Whalebrew's core packages. It may take a couple of minutes/hours to build and push to Docker Hub.

whalebrew install whalebrew/neuron

I'll probably add this to the guide myself in a PR next week if someone else doesn't get to it before me.

Nice; does it use the official sridca/neuron image? If not, how is the image built?

[colindean]

It does! The neuron whalebrew container adds only port mappings, volume mapping, and a working directory.

There are some caveats to some neuron commands: https://github.com/whalebrew/whalebrew-packages/blob/master/neuron/README.md

@colindean Nice. When does the whalebrew image get rebuilt? Does it rebuild on every update to the sridca/neuron upstream image?

[colindean]

I'm not sure of the frequency of rebuild. I'll try to find out.

I just installed neuron through whalebrew but was unable to reach the webserver from http://127.0.0.1:8080

neuron gen -wS

Try this suggestion from the neuron whalebrew README:

Use -s 0.0.0.0:8080 or :1440 when invoking neuron rib when you want to
use Rib's built-in server from within the container.
