Workspace Setup

Docker is a cross-platform tool for managing containers. You can use Docker to download and run the Workspace we have prepared for this course. The Workspace for the course is different every term; do not use one from a previous semester.

First, you will have to download and install Docker to your machine so you can access the Workspace. This can be done in one of following two ways.

After Docker has been installed, type the following into your terminal to initalize the Docker Workspace and begin an SSH session. These commands will download our Docker Workspace from our server and boot it. The download of the Workspace will take some time, and requires an Internet connection.

Note: Docker commands will generally have to be run with sudo, so for the commands below you might need to use sudo docker-compose up -d.

git clone https://github.com/Berkeley-CS162/docker.git
cd docker
docker-compose up

Wait until you see the message, Docker workspace is ready!.

After you see the message, in your terminal then use Ctrl+C to terminate the Workspace and stop the docker-compose up command. Finally run the following commands the same docker directory.

docker-compose up -d
ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 16222

You will be prompted for a password to access the Workspace, just enter vagrant as the password.

Once you are able to create an SSH session, if a code directory doesn’t exist you will have to run the commands below to create a code directory and to clone the student0 and group0 repos so you can get access to the staff skeleton code.

mkdir -p ~/code/group
mkdir -p ~/code/personal
git clone -q -o staff https://github.com/Berkeley-CS162/group0.git ~/code/group
git clone -q -o staff https://github.com/Berkeley-CS162/student0.git ~/code/personal

From the docker directory that was created earlier you can enter docker-compose up -d to start the Workspace and docker-compose down to stop the Workspace. If you ever need it, you can use sudo rm -rf .workspace to reset the Workspace. Lastly, to exit the SSH session you can run exit.
