Primary LanguageNix

DLS-TEST-AD

Nix derivation to create a test docker image

How to build

  • Install Nix (if you don't have it) 
    $ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
  • Make sure you have the latest nixpkgs channel 
    $ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
  • Build the image from inside this project's folder, and load the result 
    $ nix-build
...
$ docker load < result
...

Content

  • EPICS Base R7.0.5 and required support modules
  • Test Area Detector IOC (running with procServ using port 7011)
  • Test Malcolm instance (running with procServ using port 7012)

How to use this image

docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -h $(hostname -s) \
     -p 8008:8008 -p 6064:6064/tcp -p 6064:6064/udp -p 8080:8080 \
     -p 5075:5075/tcp -p 5076:5076/udp -p 6075:6075/tcp \
     -d dls-test-ad

If access to procServ is required, also expose port 7011 and 7012. Alternatively, use the host network:

docker run  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -h $(hostname -s) --network=host \
     -d dls-test-ad

Then, edm screens can accessed by running:

docker exec $CONTAINERID /bin/TS-EA-IOC-01-gui
