Introduction
This page presents how to run Sugar with Docker.
You'll be able to run Sugar on your computer without having to install the Sugar environment.
Requirements : GNU/Linux, 64bits processor, Docker, Graphical Display.
Docker allows you to run programs using specific operating system onto every computer. You can run a Sugar container using Fedora onto your computer without having to install Fedora.
The guest operating system is isolated from the host. When running Sugar onto Docker, you won't have to install Sugar dependencies or to be onto the same OS.
It is container virtualisation, which is faster than processor virtualisation.
Use cases
Docker is great for TESTING / DEVELOPING purposes
It could be used to distribute Sugar but the XO specificities will strongly discourage this usage.
Pro / Cons
+ Docker will help you to easily try some activities if you haven't installed Sugar.
+ It's fast and won't install anything on your computer
- It needs to download a container image ~500mb once
- Won't allow to run every apps, and won't act exactly as the XO.
Run Sugar using Docker
There's a script to easily run Sugar. It supports data persistance and .activity installation
https://github.com/mikklfr/docker-sugar
Usage
git clone https://github.com/mikklfr/docker-sugar.git cd docker-sugar sh run.sh
