[bug] Installing HAMR in Docker seems to stall

[podhrmic]

When following the installation instructions from here and attempting to install FMIDE in a Ubuntu:22.04 docker container, the install seems to stall at bin/install/fmide.cmd:

Sireum-dev IVE can now be launched by running /opt/Sireum/bin/linux/idea/bin/IVE.sh
Java Development Kit (JDK) is available at /opt/Sireum/bin/linux/java
Scala is available at /opt/Sireum/bin/scala

Is it possible to install HAMR in a docker container, or is it not a supported/recommended way?

Michal,

Yes, you can install FMIDE inside a docker container. You could try turning verbosity on to see where it's hanging (e.g. bin/install/fmide.cmd --verbose)

fyi, I just tried the installation instructions on an x86 Ubuntu 22.04 container on my M3 Mac (FMIDE isn't supported on ARM so I had to switch to x86 emulation). The FMIDE install did get stuck while trying to install the CASE plugins. I switched to a docker container on an actual x86 box and the install completed successfully so I'm guessing it's an issue with the emulation.

Below is what a successful installation looks like when verbosity is enabled.

Thanks, that worked! I realized (perhaps too late) that HAMR seems to require X11 to be enabled, otherwise I am getting a display error:

root@51a6ce14290e:/opt/Sireum# bin/linux/fmide/fmide --version
Fmide: Cannot open display

Is it possible to run HAMR tools in Docker, or would you recommend we use a VM instead?

[jasonbelt]

It's actually OSATE/FMIDE that requires some way of displaying its GUI. You can run GUI applications from the container (e.g. here, but I'd probably opt for using a VM instead -- assuming that you don't want to install things natively.

fyi, HAMR can generate an AADL instance model from OSATE/FMIDE headlessly. E.g. we use this for our regression testing on Github, one of which runs inside a CAmkES docker container. However, if you're going through the HAMR tutorials then you will want to be able to launch OSATE/FMIDE's GUI (as well as IVE's).

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation!
