Linux support

[funkymonkeymonk]

Are there any showstopping blockers to working on linux? It looks like a pretty handy tool and I'd love to try it out.

I agree with top comments, you need deb, rpm and binary, so other distros can use your package too. Also virtualization doesn't seem right, docker is native on linux, but in case of a migration, moving a virtualbox image would be very handy.

Also any hope for remote docker management with kitematic?

+1 for native packaging +1 for the Docker daemon on the Linux host

I'm on Archlinux so .deb or .rpm is useless for me :p But maybe you can provide a container with the project so we would have only to use it: docker run -p 80:80 kitmatic/kitmatic or I think we can configure our local X server so we can exectute the binary and get it rendred on the X server :)

You could use docker to run kitematic, sort of like how shipyard provides public images you can pull and hit the ground running with a quickstart deploy.

As for Gentoo and other portage-based distros, just sources and a list of dependencies will be enough :)

+1 for both .deb and .rpm +1 root native host

An official APT repository would be really awesome.

Do you know more or less when a Linux release would be available ?

Just to share what I know:

• No opened branch for Linux portage but a pull request to initiate the Linux support
• No ongoing fork with Linux support found in the network
• As it's a nodejs app, no big deal to support Linux, the point is about to use the local docker (without VirtualBox and so on). I have tried to update some files to avoid all the setup part at the beginning and reach the point where the docker library is try to connect to the local docker deamon within 2 hours

Cheers

Some progresses :)

[zedtux]

The hello-world-nginx image is working just fine :)

[zedtux]

Give it a try !

cd somewhere/on/my/linuxbox
git clone https://github.com/zedtux/kitematic
cd kitematic/
git checkout linux-support
make
sudo npm start

(sudo is required in order to access the local docker daemon).

The repo: https://github.com/zedtux/kitematic/tree/linux-support

@zedtux I get some errors (on ubuntu 12.04, commit f1360507 from your branch, Docker version 1.0.1, build 990021a):

And after a while the app wasn't responding anymore (it wouldn't do anything anymore when I clicked on stuff)

[zedtux]

@caske33 Your error is the following:

Searching on google I find posts about Chromium. Like http://askubuntu.com/questions/528064/chromium-login-bug for example. Are you using it ?

[entropitor]

I use google chrome as my main browser.

[zedtux]

I'm on Debian and I use Iceweasel (Firefox) so maybe it could be the reason why it's working for me and not for you. Please try the link I gave you and let's hope !

[entropitor]

@zedtux: I get stuck again. And I got again the last error:

[0620/131912:ERROR:nss_util.cc(94)] Failed to create /home/jens/.pki/nssdb directory.

[zedtux]

I don't know why you have this ... I don't have this .pki folder in my home ... :(

[zedtux]

It seems to be related to Chrome again: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2216009.

[entropitor]

@zedtux I've given chmod go+rw .config/google-chrome seems to fix it. probably because the root user needs access to the chrome settings (because of sudo npm start instead of npm start)

But you can actually run npm start (without the google chrome permission thing) if you make sure your user can run docker. (For ubuntu: http://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/#create-a-docker-group, not sure if this also works on other systems)

(by the way, thanks for your work :+1: )

[zedtux]

Thank you @caske33 :)

You can pull my repo, I have (partially) implemented the 'Exec' and 'Docker cli' buttons.

[entropitor]

Not sure what exec is supposed to do. It opens a terminal and soon after closes it again.

Docker cli just opens a terminal in the location where I was when I ran npm start

[zedtux]

Both buttons are doing the same thing which is to open a terminal in the container. Which terminal emulator are you using ?
