Experiment environment in docker

Setup an Ubuntu environment

  1. First pull and delopy my Docker image (OS: ubuntu 20.04, shell: zsh, IDE: code-server) from Docker hub 
    sudo docker pull winstonli96/ubuntu_env:v1.0
sudo docker run --name ENV_NAME -it -p PORT_NUM:8080 winstonli96/ubuntu_env:v1.0 zsh

    NOTE: change ENV_NAME and PORT_NUM accordingly

  2. Then start the IDE 
    code-server .

    and change the password in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml. Default password: password. Use Ctrl+P+Q to close and run the container in background.

  3. Access to your IDE Start a web browser, the IDE is open at SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:PORT_NUM
