This repository contains the necessary Dockerfiles to build FATES Docker images that are then loaded to the NGEE-Tropics Docker Hub Repo. The images built by this repository are intended to be utilized with the fates tutorial. It is not necessary to clone this repo to run FATES Docker containers or to run the docker tutorial containers. For information on how to the docker containers for the fates tutorial see documentation on the fates tutorial.
Dockerfile: Analogous to a make
file in some ways. Used to direct the docker engine in the construction of Docker images.
Docker image: Read-only template containing layers with the necessary OS, environment variables, programs and applications for running a specific task.
Docker container: A running instance of a docker image. Containers are emphemeral and do not save run-time information locally.
Docker hub: Official online registry of Docker images. One of many places docker images may be hosted, however.
cime_config_files: XML configuration files necessary for running host models in docker containers
docker: Contains the dockerfiles necessary to build docker images. Broken down by host model type (ELM, CLM).
docker pull ngeetropics/<dockerhub-repository-name>
docker run --rm -ti --hostname=docker -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v <your-local-scratch-directory>:/output -v <your-local-inputdata-dir>:/inputdata -v <your-local-scripts-dir>:/scripts ngeetropics/<dockerhub-repository-name>:latest
Notes:
See the wiki for more detailed information on using docker to build and run host land model cases.
