This is the recording of what you have done to get in working for you. I can experiment with the container(if I am unsure) without comprising what I want to preserved.
On the contrary, you could also share the your dockerbuild to verify the dependencies is properly installed
If I move to a new host which I am about too, because laptop sucks, then I dont have to worry about whole process of setup
##How to run in your desktop
- clone the my repo to your local disk
git clone https://github.com/tweakmy/ue4-in-docker.git
$cd ue4-in-docker
- clone the unreal engine within the folder, it will prompt for your github password
$git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git
$cd UnrealEngine
- Run Setup.sh here to save time trying to download the Unreal Editor Dependencies (this would be the content,docu,sample,tutorial) during the docker build
$sudo apt-get install mono libmono-microsoft-build-tasks-v4.0-4.0-cil
$./Setup.sh
**This is very time consuming as well
- Modify the
RUN apt-get install -yq --no-install-recommends nvidia-340in the Dockefile and put the correct NVIDIA driver version in there. **Dont know how best to automate this to work for everybody running in Linux
- Install docker in your machine which you can look up in internet and then do a docker build. You also will need to install docker-compose otherwise the
docker runcommand is super long.
$docker build -t ue4:master .
and wait a long time because it will download all the dependencies
- While waiting, inspect your /dev folder by ls /dev
$ls /dev

At this point of time, just look at your nvidia* and snd
- Modify the docker-compose.yml file at "devices" section. Modify to suit for your host machine to expose sound card and graphic card to container.
devices:
- "/dev/nvidia0"
- "/dev/nvidiactl"
- "/dev/snd/timer"
- "/dev/snd/seq"
- "/dev/snd/hwC0D0"
- "/dev/snd/controlC0"
- "/dev/snd/hwC1D3"
- "/dev/snd/hwC0D1"
- "/dev/snd/hwC1D2"
- "/dev/snd/hwC1D1"
- "/dev/snd/hwC1D0"
- "/dev/snd/controlC1"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC1D7p"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC1D8p"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC1D9p"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC1D3p"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p"
- "/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c"
- Once the docker build is completed. Run docker-compse run
$docker-compose run ue4 /bin/bash
which will logged in as user unreal
- Now, you will be in a terminal /UnrealEngine, the following will build the Unreal Engine Editor
$make
this takes me 40 minutes. It depends on how powerful is your machine.
- On YOUR HOST MACHINE, to enable x display from the container
$xhost +
- Run the Editor
$./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor
#In future Everything will be automated til the build and you will get the Unreal Editor or codelite displayed instead of terminal
A shell script should be provided to do step 2 and 7
use xauthority instead of using xhost +, to make it more seamless build
