Keep in mind the automated build service of hub.docker.com! For those who don't know how it works: It is connected to the github repo and rebuilds after each new commit the needed images (or layers) automatically. As well, it would be possible to build automatically images for each release of

I think (but I am not totally sure) that you can target multiple cores from a single container. So the -j option should work on your local machine. But not on hub.docker.com, because you have only one core on the server machine. Greetings On 04/08/2016 05:08 PM, Kevin Hofschröer wrote: > Also,

Hi, That's true for now, but ubuntu's repos aren't made for developing. The repos are just too old within a few month. And then recent (or self developed) OOTs won't work. Regarding running the GUI: In the readme I've included the commands for X forwarding (that's your approach). Works fine on

Hello Stefan and all, I also recently experimented with GR and Docker and at least got it working so far. My approach was different in that I used the ubuntu:16.04 base image where gnuradio v3.7.9.1 (so pretty new) is available pre-compiled in the official ubuntu repositories. Of course that

Thanks for the responses, Stefan and Nick. It seems like Docker could make it much easier for us to support a variety of operating systems - although the user would still need to install Docker, itself. Presumably that's easier than earlier containerized models, though (e.g., VMs). Cheers, Ben

Hey, Using hardware with docker containers is pretty easy. Just use the --device flag and (effectively) share a folder/file of your host with the container or use the --net=host flag to share the network connection. Basically, that's all! And Nick Foster is right, there should be almost no

Hi Stefan - This is really cool! Thanks so much for sharing your images and for posting instructions. It looks like a number of people have started playing with GNU Radio containers - I recognize some of the other names that have publicly shared images (e.g., Nick Foster aka 'bistromath'). We

Hi all! I have build a docker tool-chain for an image with GNU Radio and UHD installed via PyBOMBS on top of Ubuntu. It's even possible to run it dockerized with a GUI using VNC and it should work as well on windows and mac (so far, not tested). The build files are available on github and the
