[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7/

sudo yum install docker-engine -y
...
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
...
sudo systemctl start docker.service

2. Build/Use the Container

You now have two options:

• Build from scratch or
• Pull the ready-made image from DockerHub.

sudo git clone https://github.com/nettworks-e-V/fli4l-buildroot-developer.git
cd fli4l-buildroot-developer

Build image

sudo docker build -t nettworksevtooling/fli4l-buildroot-developer:latest .

3. Starting docker container

sudo docker run \
    --name fli4l-buildroot-developer** \
    -d \
    nettworksevtooling/fli4l-buildroot-developer:latest

3.a Mountpoints

There are the following mountpoints available:

• tbd...

These mountpoints can be used to mount folders from the host or other volumes to store informations which should be persistant or should not everytime be recreated.

With the additional run parameter -v :/data/work/ you can mount a folder on the docker host which contains persistant data. So the run command may look like the following example:

sudo docker run \
    --name fli4l-buildroot-developer \
    -v /data/svn-checkout/:/data/work/ ...
