Hello, I've experimented a bit with docker. My first (still to be considered alpha) attempt can be accessed like this:
1) install docker Debian: sudo apt-get install docker.io Win: see https://docs.docker.com/installation/windows 2) start fricas sudo docker run --rm -it hemmecke/fricas This will download the respective files (takes about 3 min on a slow connection) and then starts something equivalent to "fricas -nosman" (fricas 1.2.5). The download happens (of course) only once. Feedback is welcome. Is such a docker image interesting for someone? If yes, I'll put together and publish the steps to produce that image. Ralf PS: I am, in fact, a bit disappointed with docker (at least under Linux), because if a sysadmin gives non-root users access to calling "docker", he, in fact, gives them full root access to the underlying host. Not so funny, if he actually only wanted to allow them to run fricas. OK, that is probably a non-issue for Windows and Mac, because there the docker image runs inside a virtualbox virtual machine. PS2: You can also run the image without the "--rm" option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
