hapiware/tmux-centos-5 repository overview

⁠Introduction

This Docker project contains several docker images for building tmux for CentOS/RedHat 5.

⁠Running container

To compile a proper tmux run the built container like this:

sudo docker run -v $PWD/temp:/tar-folder tmux-centos-5 [LIB_EVENT_VERSION TMUX_VERSION]

where:

• LIB_EVENT_VERSION is an optional version number for libeventlibrary. Default value is 2.0.22.
• TMUX_VERSION is an optional version number for tmux. Default value is 2.2.

So, if you are happy with the default values then the container can be simply run like this:

sudo docker run -v $PWD/temp:/tar-folder tmux-centos-5

Notice -v option. The image requires a data volume named /tar-folder and it must be given when the container is run. Otherwise, the built tar.gz package cannot be copied to its destination folder.

⁠Installing tmux

To install tmux on the target machine simply copy the tar.gz package to the target machine and extract the tar.gz to root (/). For example:

sudo tar -xzvf tmux-centos-5.tar.gz -C /

The above command extracts necessary files to correct locations.
