This is horribly hacky and I know that. If you know Docker feel free to improve the Dockerfile and make use of builder images and stuff. For now this should work ™️
Use at own risk.
Currently this only works on Linux which uses the X server. Theoretically this also works for MacOS [0] and Windows [1].

Sumo has been pinned to Version 1.8.0 because the master branch would not work.
The simtime.cc of omnetpp has to be patched.
The Omnetpp IDE uses a docker container as a build environment so for now we have to live with docker in docker and forwarding the host docker daemon inside the container.
First run the ./build_docker.sh script. After the image is build start it with
./start_docker.sh. Then run the ./install_omnetpp.sh once to install omnet++
and the ide.
Just start the docker container with ./start_docker.sh. For better experience
start a tmux session inside the docker container.
