Has anyone tried setting up a Docker with an Emacs and org-mode setup?
I am looking for some kind of solution like this to use with some
students. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I don't have any thoughts but would love to see what you ocme upwith.
Would be great not only for teaching but e.g. for pointing to a working
environment for research results.

** http://container-solutions.com/understanding-volumes-docker/ "Quite
simply, volumes are directories (or files) that are outside of the default
Union File System and exist as normal directories and files on the host
filesystem."
In order to be able to save (persist) data and share data between
containers, Docker came up with the concept of volumes:
Quite simply, volumes are directories (or files) that are outside of the
default Union File System and exist as normal directories and files on the
host filesystem.
There are two ways to initialise volumes, with some subtle differences that
are important to understand. We can declare a volume at run-time with the
-v flag:

$ docker run -it --name container-test -h CONTAINER -v /data debian
/bin/bash
root@CONTAINER:/# ls /data
root@CONTAINER:/#
This will make the directory /data inside the container live outside the
Union File System and directly accessible on the host.
*** Trying this but fails--may have to do before booting the container?:
docker run -v /home/b/data55:/data55 debian ls /data55
** Can also give access to a "volume" that is available in one container to
another
*** Can't you use FUSE with a container!?
** "you can also mount a directory from your own host into a container:"
$ sudo docker run -d -P --name web -v /src/webapp:/opt/webapp
training/webapp python app.py
*** The above will mount the local directory, /src/webapp, into the
container as the /opt/webapp directory. This is very useful for testing;
for example,
we can mount our source code inside the container and see our application
at work as we change the source code!
**** But with UNIONFS and AUFS this functionality has been available for
many years.
** To test docker install
docker search debian
docker pull debian
docker run -i -t debian /bin/bash
*** And/or
docker pull ubuntu
docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
* Yet another emacs in a docker(which I've done successfully--see
above--but this is "dmacs"): [[https://github.com/bcbcarl/docker-emacs]]
docker pull bcbcarl/emacs
sudo curl -L
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bcbcarl/docker-emacs/master/bin/dmacs -o

Ferrier at it again: https://github.com/nicferrier/emacs-in-a-docker
*** This didn't work; but, here's his plan:
This puts Emacs into a docker!
I am sure this is going to be useful for tests and things like that.
Subdirectories
Since there are an immediate load of things you might do with Dockers (run
a daemon, run a batch in various ways, etc...) I'll put subdirs here with
usable Dockerfiles for doing those things.
emacsd
A docker with an Emacs daemon in it.
$ sudo docker.io run -d -v $(realpath sockets):/tmp/emacs1000
nicferrier/emacsd
$ emacsclient -s sockets/sock/server -e '(+ 1 1)'
* Other Emacs Dockerfiles
Elnode has a few Dockerfiles to allow quick deployment. So far I've based
all the Emacs Dockerfiles I've built on emacsd.

* Docker Backups
If you’re using a data-container, it’s pretty trivial to do a backup:
$ docker run --rm --volumes-from dbdata -v $(pwd):/backup debian tar cvf
/backup/backup.tar /var/lib/postgresql/data
** Above should create a tarball of everything in the volume (the official
postgres Dockerfile defines a volume at /var/lib/postgresql/data).

Thanks for all the notes! It looks like a not too trivial exercise that
might have to be a summer project for me.

For the past year, I've been curious about how to make my Emacs
environment available to me and anyone else, easily. Goal is to make
working on a Linux, Windows, or OSX GUI a one-click setup. For me,
Vagrant is the obvious solution here. Vagrant and Packer,
specifically.
The benefit of using Packer to build a Vagrant image is that the user
doesn't have to wait for the download and installation of big stuff
like TeXLive. That get's me curious if we (all Emacs/Org users) might
want to build a base-image that includes all the stuff out there.
Might make it easy for users to try out lots of different configs
without having to deal with all of the software requirements. While
that isn't a "big deal", it is just easier for them so they can focus
on doing stuff with Org.

This is a good idea, I'm personally using Vagrant for a lot of
development related stuff.
However the users still have to download the base box image initially
and that can be many GBs, depending on what you include in it.
Also, would you include Xorg and thus the ability to run Emacs in
graphical mode or only a terminal-based Emacs?

This sounds a lot like what I have in mind. Have you tried doing this yet?

Off the top of my head I assume that the user has high speed Internet,
many GiBs of disk space, a few GiBs of RAM, and a couple of CPUs to
run the VM.

Include Xorg so as to be able to run GUI Emacs.

What I have done is used Vagrant for a development box, which included
text Emacs. That worked well.
I have not moved this forward yet as an Org mode box with a GUI. When
the topic came up here, it got me thinking about doing this again. My
other motivation is to move to 100% VM based workstations, and this
seems like a perfect way to get some re-use out of my Emacs/Org box.

I made a docker image for my xwidget emacs branch:
https://github.com/jave/xwidget-aux/tree/master/emacs-xwidget-docker-debian
There are notes there also how to run the dockerized emacs in graphical mode by
forwarding X.
It would be very straightforward to use the same technique with plain
gnu emacs rather than my branch.

Hi,
I'm using emacs/org in docker in non-interactive mode, for building
documentation during CI process -
https://github.com/binarin/docker-org-export
Best,
Alexey
