Getting your environment in shape

[joachim-gassen]

Hi everybody,

before most of us meet for Pizza a quick note to let you know that I update the README to contain some pointers about how to set up your environment (local and docker).

A special thank you to @maia-sh who shared some tricks via pull request #1!

Feel free to comment on this issue if you want to discuss issues related to setting up your environment. If you have something to share, issue a pull request that extends the new "Tipps and Tricks section" in the README.

If we don't meet tonight we will meet tomorrow at 9am in room 220 (different room from today!)

Thanks! Joachim

Following up, the README is now reasonably complete. Additional help can be found in the updated Dockerfile and in the "Tips and Tricks" section of the README. Thank you to @max111 for providing additional input!

Everybody: Please get your development environment in shape! We will need it throughout the course. If you need help, comment in this thread, describing your problem.

Hello, I have a problem setting up my Docker. So far I have followed all the instructions in the Readme. Now I tried to run "docker build -t sposm_ide ." and the following happens :

unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: CreateFile C:\Users\paulk\Dockerfile: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

Thanks in advance for any help !

To me this looks as if you might be in the wrong directory. You need to be in the same directory as the Dockerfile. Change into the directory sposm/docker by the command cd and see whether this helps. Thanks for letting us know.
