Docker environment

Install docker

Please follow the official guide to install the docker-ce. we also provide a bash script to install docker-ce

bash docker/setup_host/install_docker.sh

Don't forget the post-installation steps for Linux.

Mac support

We always recommend to run Apollo container on Ubuntu with the same version of the base image, but in case you want to do code development on a Mac, you can still try the latest Docker-for-Mac

It runs on a virtual kernel which is similar to use Docker Toolkit + VirtualBox. Make sure you understand the difference.

With Mac, lots of Linux bindings are not available, which could cause problems. So it's basicly just an environment for code development, while not production.

Development container

We provide development environment where you can build Apollo from code.

cd /path/to/apollo
bash docker/scripts/dev_start.sh
bash docker/scripts/dev_into.sh

The scripts to build the dev-image are also available at docker/build.

Note that, within the scripts in this directory, only standard tools that are expected to be available in most Linux distributions should be used (e.g., don't use realpath).

Release container

We also distribute release images with runtime environment and pre-compiled binaries.

Simply run

cd /path/to/apollo
bash docker/scripts/release_start.sh

And then you should be able to see Dreamview at http://localhost:8888.
