Install docker (https://www.docker.com/products/docker). Install XQuarts (https://www.xquartz.org/) for copy/paste between systems. Note: ensure syncing is enabled under XQuartz -> Preferences -> Pasteboard

clone repo, cd into repo, and run make

Put this in ~/.ssh/config (making sure to replace the username which whatever your $USER is):

Host devbox
  HostName localhost
  Port 33322
  User <insert your username here>
  ForwardAgent true
  # required for copy / paste between systems
  ForwardX11 yes

  # prevent remote host identification warnings
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null

then run:

ssh devbox

Note:

Connecting to devbox requires that you have your public keys in the authorized_keys file here:

/home/$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys

A useful way to do this is to install github-auth locally and add the keys to your enviornment prior to running make

# ssh
# https://github.com/chrishunt/github-auth
gem install github-auth --no-rdoc --no-ri
gh-auth add --users=$USER
