miraath/ionic repository overview

⁠Ionic-docker

A ubuntu image to build ionic apps for android

⁠Features

• Node with Ionic & Cordova and Yarnn as package manager
• Android SDK with Oracle Java 8
• Ready to run Google Chrome for e2e tests

⁠Usage

This command will create the image and run a shell inside it:

docker run --rm -i -t -v $(pwd):/project -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 --entrypoint /bin/bash miraath/ionic

TODO : The following commands are from upstream, I don't know if it works with our image :

docker run -ti --rm -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 miraath/ionic

If you have your own ionic sources, you can launch it with:

docker run -ti --rm -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 -v /path/to/your/ionic-project/:/project:rw miraath/ionic

⁠Automation

With this alias:

alias ionic="docker run -ti --rm -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v ~/.gradle:/root/.gradle -v \$PWD:/project:rw miraath/ionic ionic"

alias ionic="docker run -ti --rm --net host --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v ~/.gradle:/root/.gradle -v \$PWD:/project:rw miraath/ionic ionic"

you can follow the ionic tutorial⁠ (except for the ios part...) without having to install ionic nor cordova nor nodejs on your computer.

ionic start project tabs
cd project
ionic serve
# If you didn't used --net host, be sure to chose the ip address, not localhost, or you would not be able to use it

open http://localhost:8100⁠ and everything works.

⁠Android tests

You can test on your android device, just make sure that debugging is enabled.

cd project
ionic platform add android
ionic build android
ionic run android

##FAQ * The application is not installed on my android device * Try docker run -ti --rm -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v \$PWD:/project:rw miraath/ionic adb devices your device should appear * The adb devices show nothing whereas I can see it when I do adb devices on my computer * You can't have adb inside and outside docker at the same time, be sure to adb kill-server on your computer before using this image
