For example if you run docker-compose run --rm dev and exit the container then the changes you made to the repo will persist, even though the container is remove opencog_dev_run_1 is removed. If you don't use docker-compose and are using docker run directly then you could configure your setup however you like, the setting of the environment variables are not required. > > > On Monday, September 26, 2016 at 5:15:37 PM UTC-4, linas wrote: >> >> There is a docker container in the docker repository.
