Introduce Dockerfile

[themarcelor]

Introducing a Dockerfile to help others with a quick method to execute CIEL, so anyone can get up to speed with it without having to spend time with any local configuration.

Testing results:

% docker run -it ciel-docker /bin/bash
root@0ee2dd9214d9:/home# ciel --version
ciel version 0.1

Awe-some, thanks a lot :pray:

I'll try ASAP, it looks simple and perfect though.

ps: I'm trying to get some time away from keyboard in August, I don't promise on being super reactive!

pps: tudo beleza obrigado :D

We can simplify the Dockerfile a bit, the image has a built-in way to get Quicklisp:

before_script:
  - QUICKLISP_ADD_TO_INIT_FILE=true /usr/local/bin/install-quicklisp

[themarcelor]

Great catch @vindarel 😃 I've pushed a new commit. Please take another look when you have a chance. 😎

[themarcelor]

Nice! 👍🏼 @vindarel Let me know you think we should add some note to the README.md about this.

[vindarel]

yep, see the new PR!

More questions:

• have you tried to build a CIEL core image in the same (Docker) image? This will enable users to use CIEL with their editor.
  • (it should be a matter of calling make image)
• I think you should avoid copying files from the local bin/ directory to Docker (in my case it existed because I had built CIEL before)
  • maybe avoid a large "COPY . ." and even be conservative/precise in the list of file sources?

(bonus)

• would using an apt cache speed up something in our case? (https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/#use-the-dedicated-run-cache)

[themarcelor]

@vindarel yeah, that make image command works fine inside the container 🎉

CIEL [master] % docker run -it ciel /bin/bash
root@5522fd70b9a0:/home# make image
sbcl --load build-image.lisp

Regarding the COPY . ., I agree that we don't need / shouldn't copy everything. Perhaps we should limit the list to:

• COPY Makefile .
• COPY src .
• COPY build-image.lisp ciel.asd find-dependencies.lisp repl.lisp shell-utils.lisp utils.lisp build-config.lisp repl-utils.lisp scripting.lisp .

?

btw, the apt-cache is an amazing idea 💡 I can cut a new PR later this week.
