This repository tracks Prusa3D's PrusaSlicer. The files here contain the Dockerfile, supporting scripts and instructions for usage.
If you're looking for a build of PrusaSlicer, the latest builds are available on PrusaSlicer's releases page.
To grab and run this (built on the Docker hub):
docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v $PWD:/Slic3r/3d:z \
-v slic3rSettings:/home/slic3r \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
--rm keyglitch/docker-slic3r-prusa3d
-
Your current directory will be mounted into the container at /Slic3r/3d (change the :z option as appropriate to :rw/:ro).
-
Settings are persisted into the slic3rSettings volume.
-
Fedora users: SELinux might block access to X by slic3r inside the container. Look in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log to see if this is happening (and for the relevant commands to fix).
-
Alternatively, there might be a permission error upon trying to access X. Try running
xhost local:root
to fix (this is a temporary fix and must be reapplied when restarting the host).
Sample error example:

If the hub version is ever out of date (or for any other reason), it is possible to build an image locally. getLatestSlic3rRelease.sh
will automatically try to get the latest non-AppImage version through the GitHub API during the build process.

A small script wraps the docker run
command above. It also contains a commented out snippet for poking around the persistent volume.
