Dockerized Unreal Engine 4

NOTE

• docker image is small, and volume uses about 25GB of disk space initially
• builds in ~1.5 hours depending on network and hardware

Installation

1. signup with Epic Games for access to UnrealEngine4 github repository

2. download .tar.gz file or "git clone" desired version of UnrealEngine from github

3. edit Dockerfile

   • set _NVIDIA_VERSION to match the nvidia binary version of the host OS
   • optionally, set _USER_ID to match the userid on the host OS that you want to own created files

4. build

docker build -t unrealengine:latest .

5. run; mount volumes for the UnrealEngine source code from github and a home directory (to perserve your projects)

./xlaunch -v /home/myuser/UnrealEngineSource:/opt/UnrealEngine -v /home/myuser/UnrealEngineHome:/home/unreal/ unrealengine:latest
