Dockerize - your minimal build environment

Dockerize eases the process of working on a project inside a docker container. Specifically it does the following steps:

• Mounts the current directory into the container at the same path
• Creates and uses a user with current uid:gid
• Ensures that user has sudo permissions
• Optionally mounts HOME into the container

Installation

Put the dockerize file in your PATH and ensure it is executable

Usage

cd <your-project>
echo "DOCKERIMAGE=ubuntu:22.04" >> .dockerize
dockerize
# Work on your project from inside an ubuntu 22.04 environment

.dockerize Options

dockerize accepts the following options inside the .dockerize file

DOCKERIMAGE The docker image to use. Either DOCKERIMAGE or DOCKERFILE must be specified.

DOCKERFILE The dockerfile to use. Warning If you use that option you should also create a .dockerignore file to prevent that your whole projects gets sent as context to the docker daemon

DOCKERIZE_MOUNT_HOME Either 1 or 0. If this is 1, your home directory gets mounted into the container at the same path as on the host

DOCKERIZE_ARGSAdditional arguments added to docker run. This can be handy for example to limit the available cpu usage in the container by specifying "--cpus=6"
