Aim of this project: to create a simple docker image for learning purposes. At the moment it's not intended to be used for any projects, but feel free to use it as a base/reference material.
You can also use the python file to install EPICS modules.
Since this project is mostly for learning purposes, it's not (yet) available on DockerHub. All you need to do is install docker and build an image, then run it.
To build an image with everything:
docker build -t epics-baseOr to stop at a certain stage:
docker build -t epics-base --target < stage >To run the Docker image, use the following line:
docker run -t -i epics-testThis will keep the container running and make the current shell an interactive ioc. You should see something like:
#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/exampleIoc
< envPaths
epicsEnvSet("IOC","iocexampleIoc")
epicsEnvSet("TOP","/EPICS/example/exampleIoc")
epicsEnvSet("MODULES","/EPICS/support")
epicsEnvSet("AUTOSAVE","/EPICS/support/autosave-R5-11")
epicsEnvSet("MOTOR","/EPICS/support/motor-R7-3-1")
epicsEnvSet("EPICS_BASE","/EPICS/epics-base")
cd "/EPICS/example/exampleIoc"
## Register all support components
dbLoadDatabase "dbd/exampleIoc.dbd"
exampleIoc_registerRecordDeviceDriver pdbbase
# epicsEnvSet ("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", "/ioc")
## Load record instances
dbLoadRecords("db/example.db","P=user, M=:axis1, user=user")
iocInit()

python3 module_installer < /path/to/support/dir > < path/to/modules.yml/or/empty >Read the comments in the python file for more details.
If you encounter any issue, feel free to report them in the issue tracker. If you have any bug fixes or extra features, please fork the repo, add your branch with the bug fix/feature and then request a merge. I'll try to reply in my free time but keep in mind this is not a priority project for me.
