This repository contains Dockerfiles that build two Docker images for GUI application development, along with launch scripts to start these images.
A ready-to-use development environment for GUI application development
This image includes popular programming languages such as C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, Python, and Node.js, along with essential tools like GNU Make, CMake, GDB, Rustup, npm, Maven, and pipx. It provides a comprehensive environment for GUI application development.
Built on top of archlinux-gui, this image allows you to develop and debug GUI applications directly within the container. Use the launch script start-docker-archlinux-gui-devel.sh to start the container effortlessly.
Why develop GUI applications in a container? To keep your host system clean and organized! :D
For detailed guidance on running GUI applications in containers, refer to How to run GUI applications directly in containers.
This container also starts an SSH server on port 3333. The default password for the root user is 123456. You can connect to this container using VSCode's Remote Development over SSH, enabling you to work with familiar tools for development.
Run VSCode directly in a container without installation
This image extends the archlinux-gui-devel image by adding the VSCode application.
Installing VSCode can be challenging on certain Linux distributions (e.g., NixOS). With Docker or Podman (recommended) installed on your system, you can build the archlinux-gui-vscode image using the script build-docker-image-archlinux-gui-vscode.sh and run it with the script start-docker-archlinux-gui-vscode.sh. This approach eliminates the need for software installation or configuration on the host system.
A demonstration image with CLion pre-installed
This image builds upon the archlinux-gui-devel image by adding the CLion application. It serves as a demonstration, similar to the archlinux-gui-vscode image.
It's recommended to build the images from the Dockerfiles in this repository since the size of the images is large. However, if you prefer to use pre-built images, you can find them on Docker Hub:
