Yeah 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).
- readams 9y agoNewer versions have a prune option. Older ones there are shell alias recipes you can find on the web

- digi_owl 9y agoBecause containers, with docker as their poster child, is the "hot" way to distribute everything.
