DockerHub image for Theia IDE

dannaf commented 7 months ago

Feature Description:

A DockerHub image of Theia IDE would be useful as an out-of-the-box usable browser IDE product.

(Discussed with @JonasHelming here: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-website/pull/524#issuecomment-1984632458 (updated to exqct comment))

Thank you for opening this issue. I haven't had the chance to read the entire discussion yet, but I wanted to point out that we have a Theia IDE docker image available on the public GitHub registry, which you can find here: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-blueprint/pkgs/container/theia-blueprint%2Ftheia-ide

We should link this on a good position, I will get back to this

Thanks @jfaltermeier for mentioning the GitHub registry docker image, I hadn't noticed that. I suggest that a good place to mention it, for starters, is at the very bottom of the README of Theia IDE, where it discusses building a docker image. At least a quick mention that for use it is not necessary to build because there already exists an image would be helpful. (This gets into the use vs. development conversation at https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-website/pull/524.)

I have tried running the above linked Docker image on a macOS machine with an m2 chip and get the following message;-

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

Is there a Docker image for macOS available?

madamedefarge commented 7 months ago

Thank you. Please can you tell me how I can either access a Docker image for macOS or build one myself?

I couldn't see a new Docker image. I have also tried using the build command;-

docker build -t theia-ide -f browser.Dockerfile .

but get an error message;-

I currently have an Eclipse RCP app based on Xtext and GEF/GMF and am considering migrating to LSP/GLSP. Currently facing a huge learning curve for Docker/Theia. To start with I want to run Theia as a browser app on my macBook and not use Electron Thank you.

Hi @madamedefarge ,

I do not have an Apple M2 chip to test this, but maybe something to try: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76848446/running-docker-containers-on-mac-apple-silicon-m2-platform-compatibility-and-ex

Thank you! I already have Rosetta installed so whilst that post didn't have the answer it gave me enough clues to work out how to get it working.

On macOS M1/M2 chips etc Docker needs to have the emulation platform specified. Thus the command to build the docker image is;-

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t theia-ide -f browser.Dockerfile .

and the command to run is;-

docker run -p 3000:3000 --platform linux/amd64 --rm theia-ide

Just in case this helps anyone else. :-)

@JonasHelming regarding where to document this:

We should link this on a good position, I will get back to this

I suggest at the end of the first paragraph in the README section titled What is this?, right after it says:

The Theia IDE is available as a downloadable desktop application. You can also try the latest version of the Theia IDE online. The online test version is limited to 30 minutes per session and hosted via Theia.cloud.

Or/and at the bottom of the README, like I mentioned above https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-blueprint/issues/338#issuecomment-1991710503.

(There may be additional important locations, in the docs or elsewhere.)
