◢ What is docker? ◣

Each 'image' is an isolated
user-space instance used to
deploy and run a process.

When an image is run,
it runs the configured
process within its sandbox.

◢ How are we using docker? ◣

Building and running copies of
aic_releases within an image.

Each image will be configured
with a specific set of
dependencies.

◢ What does this buy us?  ◣

No more dependency collisions
of different AIC releases.

Dependency updates are applied
by updating a local image.

Dependencies can be tested in a
trully isolated environment.

Reduced resource cost
vs. a traditional VM.

Can run multiple AICs on a
single machine without VMs.

Can run a copy of the AIC
while building another.

◢ How to use ◣

All relevant scripts are located
in /Scripts/AIC/docker.

For first time use, execute
'setupDocker.sh'.

Execute 'buildAic.sh' to build
a local copy of aic_releases
within an image.

Execute 'startAic.sh' to run
a copy of aic_releases
within an image, accessed
via VNC session.

# 'docker images' shows which
# images you have downloaded

# 'docker ps' shows you running
# containers

For more advanced use,
see (future updates of)
AIC Docker page
on Confluence.
