dymaxionlabs/grass repository overview

⁠GRASS Docker image

This is a Debian derived image containing GRASS GIS⁠ software.

⁠Usage

Running the container without any arguments will output the grass help:

docker run dymaxionlabs/grass

All arguments passed to the image are passed as options to grass, i.e. the following is equivalent to the previous invocation:

docker run dymaxionlabs/grass --help

You will most likely want to work with data on the host system from within the docker container, in which case run the container with the -v option along the following lines:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/data dymaxionlabs/grass -c /data/grassdb/here

The above command will create, in the current working directory on the host, the GRASS database grassdb and the GRASS location here with the default GRASS mapset of PERMANENT.

Running the following command in the future from the same current working directory will allow you to continue working with the data:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/data dymaxionlabs/grass /data/grassdb/here/PERMANENT

This works because the current working directory is set to /data in the container, and you have mapped the current working directory on your host to /data.
