Developement docker image

This docker image is meant to make it easier to work on the development of Tribler by extracting all the dependencies in a docker container.

How to use

Currently this docker image only works on linux/unix machines, because of the way the gui is passed to the host's x server

To make use of this image, first clone the tribler/tribler repository or your own fork somewhere on your computer:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Tribler/tribler.git

Then pull this image from docker hub:

docker pull tribler/docker-tribler-dev

Or build it yourself by building from this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Tribler/docker-tribler-dev.git
docker build -t tribler/docker-tribler-dev docker-tribler-dev

When the image is pulled or built, it can be run by executing this command:

sudo docker run -it --rm \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
-v <absolute location to the tribler repo>:/home/tribler/code \
tribler/docker-tribler-dev

If the state directory (~/.Tribler) needs to be preserved or altered, it can be mapped to the container by adding

-v <absolute location to the state folder>:/home/tribler/.Tribler

In the running container Tribler can be executed by running:

./code/tribler.sh
