Docker

Building the extension via Docker

Make sure that you have Docker installed.

Development

First, get the latest docker image.

docker pull vscodeicons/vsi

Now you can either build or develop the project.

---

Building the project

Run the image.

docker run --rm -it -e task=dist -v <your-host-path-here>:/vsi-out vscodeicons/vsi

Note:

• We are using a volume to have access to the artifact in our host (https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/). '<your-host-path-here>' can be a path like '~/vscode-icons', which will create a 'vscode-icons' directory in your user directory.

• By using the --rm flag, we are telling docker to automatically remove the container when it is done.

---

Developing the project

Run the image.

docker run -it -e task=build vscodeicons/vsi sh

Notice, that now you are inside the container, right at a command prompt, ready to do your stuff.

---

Building a published version (tag)

The purpose of this image is to be run and get the artifact from building the extension at a specific published version (tag).

This image was created to make it easier to consume the latest published version (tag) of icon.json file, in order to build the amazing github-vscode-icons extension by @dderevjanik.

How to

First, get the tagged docker image.

docker pull vscodeicons/vsi:<tag>

Note:

Where <tag> is a published version (tag) of the extension. All available tags can be found at the Docker repository.

Now, run the image as you would do when building the project.

---

Cleaning volumes

If you want to clean the stale volumes you can run the following.

docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
