docker pull mj41/perl6-star:latest
Try "Hello world from Docker container".
docker run -i -t --rm --name my-first-p6-temp mj41/perl6-star:latest /bin/bash -c $'perl6 -e\'say "Hello world from Docker container!"\''
Create interactive container and run Bash shell inside:
docker run -i -t --name p6-test-container mj41/perl6-star:latest /bin/bash
Now you can run e.g.
perl6 -e'say "hello"'
Command 'exit' is going to exit shell and container is stopped
exit
See all (including stopped) containers
docker ps -a
Start 'p6-test-container' container (Bash) again
docker start -i p6-test-container
exit
You can delete container and all data/files you made inside:
docker rm p6-test-container
You can mount your host directory to Docker container (read-write):
export P6_DEV_DIR="$HOME/perl6-my-dev/"
echo $P6_DEV_DIR
mkdir -p $P6_DEV_DIR
chmod a+rwx $P6_DEV_DIR
chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t $P6_DEV_DIR
echo 'say "Hello from host file running inside Docker container."' > $P6_DEV_DIR/base-test.p6
docker run -i -t --rm -v $P6_DEV_DIR:/mnt/host-p6-dir:ro --name p6-dev-container mj41/perl6-star:latest /bin/bash
and inside container bash:
perl6 /mnt/host-p6-dir/base-test.p6
