Running on OSX/with Docker-Machine

[3wille]

Hey there, I am trying to run this on OSX with docker-machine. I am not sure on which system you are working. However, I'd need to pass some ENV-vars to the docker command. Are you using this too or do you have any idea how this could be achieved?

I didn't find any resources on setting ENV-vars in atom in general. Setting them in the "Docker Path" is producing errors.

Thanks in advance, Freddy

What environment variables do you need to set? Because if that seems like a real thing that is needed it could be added...

I think that you may be able to hack what you want my changing the name of the container. Or by customizing the container yourself. For example: Image Name -E MY_THING=something kwerle/ruby_language_server:latest

or build your own container based on kwerle/ruby_language_server:latest and call it custom_ruby_language_server and then reference that.

Sorry for being unclear, but you misunderstood me there. I don't need variables for the container but for the docker command itself. With docker-machine the docker daemon runs in a VM (because docker only runs on linux). You can see the documentation with an example of the vars here: https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/

I am not sure whether there is a better way to support docker-machine than to allow setting ENV vars.

OK, still not clear.

Exactly what variables are you trying to pass? How would you run it on the command line?

Example from the above mentioned documentation:

export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.104:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/databus23/.docker/machine/certs"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
docker {some_command}

In a shell environment one can use eval "$(docker-machine env default)" to set those variables to the correct values.

Then I think I would set my Docker Path to something like /Users/\<you>/bin/atom_docker.sh

atom_docker.sh

#!/bin/sh
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.104:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/databus23/.docker/machine/certs"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
docker $*

or something to that effect.

That's a good idea. It seems to work, at least it is not showing an error anymore. So, thanks for your help 👍
