Docker related files to build and run Newspeak in a container

[santana]

Overview

The motivation is to be able to have a quick and easy way to get Newspeak working on multiple platforms and because the existing platforms/docker/Dockerfile has too many deficiencies.

This new attempt has the following benefits:

• it is multi-stage docker build, meaning that we
• drops root privilege as soon as possible
• reduces the size of the image significantly
• builds are efficient and fast because of Docker caching what doesn't need to be rebuilt.

Usage

Note

If you are already on Linux/amd64 then you don't need the --platform linux/amd64 option.

1. Build image

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t nsapp --target final .

2. Run container

docker run --platform linux/amd64 -p 8080:8080 nsapp

3. Access the application.

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ to see the files available or point it directly to the IDE http://localhost:8080/primordialsoup.html?snapshot=HopscotchWebIDE.vfuel

Issues

Even though I took the build and deployment instructions from the different scripts under the tools directory it is raising the errors shown in the screenshots.

I have inspected primordialsoup.js and it includes the writeArrayToMemory() function. You can do the same by running:

docker exec  -it nsapp  /bin/bash
