pgModeler Docker container

This image compiles & run pgModeler inside a Docker container.

Usage

Install X11 Manager for Windows, like vcxsrv (easiest way is using chocolatey)

choco install vcxsrv

And configure it running XLaunch for multiple windows, start no client, check "disable access control" and IMPORTANT: SAVE the config to Desktop or %APPDATA%/Xming
Set environment variable (replacing your IP address, using 192.168.1.100 as a sample)

Set-Variable -name DISPLAY -value 192.168.1.100:0.0
Run docker container

docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY apazga/docker-pgmodeler

Use it with volumes if needed (e.g. to save!):

docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v F:\data:/data apazga/docker-pgmodeler:0.9.2

You can also specify your DISPLAY IP directly if you don't want to define an environment variable:

docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=192.168.1.100:0.0 -v F:\data:/data apazga/docker-pgmodeler:0.9.2

To ease launch of pgmodeler, just use run.ps1

Just run it :)

docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=192.168.1.100:0.0 -v /home/myname/data:/data apazga/docker-pgmodeler:0.9.2

or use the provided script run.sh.

If you want to build the image using the Dockerfile provided (it can take a while!)

docker build -t apazga/docker-pgmodeler .
