PyCharm IDE in a Docker container

• PyCharm VERSION=PyCharmCE2018.2.4

Requirements

• Docker 1.13.1+ or latest 17.12.1-ce
• An X11 server socket enabled (e.g. xhost+)

Run (recommended for easy-start)

Image is pulling from openkbs/pycharm-docker

./run.sh

Build

You can build your own image locally.

./build.sh

(Optional) Making plugins persist between sessions

If you run "./run.sh" instead of "docker-compose up", you don't have to do anything as below.

PyCharm configurations are kept on $HOME/PyCharmCE2018.1 inside the container, so if you want to keep them around after you close it, you'll need to share it with your host.

For example: (Version might be different - use run.sh instead)

docker run -ti --rm \
           -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
           -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
           -v $HOME/PyCharmCE2018.1:/home/developer/PyCharmCE2018.1 \
           -v `pwd`:/home/developer/workspace \
           openkbs/PyCharm-docker

Other possible Issues

You might see the warning message in the launching xterm console like below, you can just ignore it. I googles around and some blogs just suggested to ignore since the IDE still functional ok.
