martingabelmann/root repository overview

#Dockerized ROOT (CERN) compile your root-scripts without building root yourself

Important: for security reasons the interactive gui-features of root will not be supported (but you can of course save graphs to pdf).

⁠Usage

Just try

docker run --rm martingabelmann/root --help

⁠Complie single c++ file

Assuming you've a script to compile at /your/work/dir/rootfile.cc:

cd /your/work/dir/
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/tmp/ martingabelmann/root -c rootfile.cc -o binary.out

The -o flag is optional: if not set, the binary is called rootfile.out.

Then run your new binary with

docker run --rm -ti -v $PWD:/tmp/ martingabelmann/root -r binary.out

⁠Manage more complex situations

Join a containers bash with

docker run --rm -ti -v $PWD:/tmp/ martingabelmann/root bash

You can spawn ROOT by typing root (not well tested) but all gui features will not work.
