- Install Docker Toolbox for Windows https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
- Start
Docker Quickstart Terminal
- Create your desired directory and create a
Dockerfile
(see mine above for reference). - Run
docker build -t <docker username>/<choose a name for image> .
, in my case I'm runningdocker build -t hunterlester/safe_iot .
<--- don't forget this period - Next we need to get a container running from the image that we just built, with a volume mounted to our host directory so that it's easy to be able to create and write files in either the container or on our host and have them be shared.
- An important detail here is that in this case
boot2docker
is the Docker host, not our Windows OS. - Run
docker run -d -it --name <name your container> -v <path to directory on host>:/<path to directory in container> <docker username>/<image name>
- In my case, I'm running
docker run -d -it --name safe_iot -v $(pwd):/safe_iot hunterlester/safe_iot
- The container will be running now, detached.
- Use
docker attach <container name>
to access the command line within the container. It's in here that I'm runningnasm...
,ld ...
,grub-mkrescure ...
, etc... - To exit command line without stopping container, key in
CTRL + P + Q
- Use
docker start <container name>
, docker stop , to start and stop your container, respectively. - If you forget your container name, use
docker ps
to view running containers anddocker ps -a
to view all containers, including those that are not running. - I'm writing my files either in the
boot2docker
terminal or directly in Windows in my editor. Either way the files are mounted on theboot2docker
VM and then shared with my container.
