Nonetheless I ran into a lot of puzzling stuff and did a whole lot of Googling to get it working. I have a vague idea how this all works but I still find it extremely magical! Docker seems to be very well put together and everything worked really smoothly for me. You can use it to develop and test software on other OSes (or different versions of your host OS) or to bundle up a bunch of software packages so users can install and uninstall them all together or to run programs in a restricted environment so they can't damage the host. I had not used Docker before so this was an adventure! I learned a lot.ĭocker lets you run virtual computers (I'll call them guests, although this is not official Docker terminology ) inside your computer (the host ), and guests can run different operating systems from the one the host runs. So the past few days I have been getting it running on Linux on Docker in order to fix it. ![]() My co-Recurser Hazem tried running Programmable Matter on Linux, and it didn't work very well (I had previously run it only on my Mac).
