Run the First Edition of Unix with Docker
- loudouncodes 9y agoGetting this up and running on the PiDP/11 would be a thing of beauty: https://hackaday.io/project/8069-pidp-11 https://hackaday.io/project/8069-pidp-11
- aap_ 9y agoThe PiDP-11 is using simh already. I'm currently putting together a museum of PDP-11 UNICes for it. Although since the target is an 11/70 I'm not so sure we'll have v1.
- drb91 9y agoIt’s a little disappointing they mention docker a ton of times when it’s simh doing the heavy lifting here (though it looks like a very user friendly way to package it!)—just a shout out to the azing project would mean a lot to some people.
- Dowwie 9y agowould like this for MSDOS 5.0..
- Dowwie 9y agowould like this for MSDOS 5.0 so I can play some commander keen
- exDM69 9y agoIt's very easy using dosbox, no containers needed.
- monocasa 9y agoSimh is very easy to use, no containers needed, too.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoYou can get all of the Keen games for $1.24 right now on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/9180/Commander_Keen/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/9180/Commander_Keen/
- racl101 9y agoWow, that's sort of like having a time machine and being able to see the birth of something great.
- aap_ 9y agoYeah nice, but why use docker?!
- dboreham 9y agoBecause buzzwords?
- simonw 9y agoBecause you literally type "docker run --rm -it bahamat/unix-1st-ed" in your terminal and a few seconds later you're running 1972-era Unix.
- aap_ 9y agomksh: docker: not found I see no reason to install docker to run simh when you can just install simh to run simh.
- bonzini 9y agodocker is mostly used to package and install simh.
- rjzzleep 9y agodunno man, the following seems easier and cleaner to me: pacman -S simh apt install simh pacman -Rns simh ?? On that note is there anything that will get rid of unused docker layers when you get rid of an image? sort of like -Rns in pacman? or aptitude remove except for docker images?
- Nullabillity 9y agoAFAIK layers are automatically garbage collected if you delete all images and containers that depend on them. Bear in mind that containers are not automatically deleted after shutting down, unless you give the --rm argument. You can list them with docker ps -a, and delete all containers by running docker rm $(docker ps -aq).

- microcolonel 9y agoI really hope this sycophantic obsession with "dockerizing" things blows over. It is not impressive to run a single isolated terminal process in a docker container, and docker doesn't write your software for you.
- dfederschmidt 9y agoNext up: How to run Docker on the first edition of Unix :^). Seriously through, nice work!
