## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: The image has moved to: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/coopernurse/docker-nim/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a quick attempt to get the Nim compiler and nimble package manager
|
||
|
|
bundled into a Docker image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The base image is Alpine Linux (see: https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/alpine/)
|
||
|
|
which keeps things slim.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Layout
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nim is compiled from the latest github source and is in: `/opt/Nim`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nimble is also compiled from source, but only the compiled binary is kept.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`PATH` is updated to include: `/opt/Nim/bin` and `/root/.nimble/bin` so both
|
||
|
|
`nim` and `nimble` will be in the PATH by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`WORKDIR` is set to `/src` so if you `-v` mount your local directory to `/src` you can run the
|
||
|
|
compiler directly without changing directory first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By using the `-v` flag with `docker run` you can use this image to compile your Nim sources without
|
||
|
|
a local Nim installation. For example, to compile and run `hello.nim` from this repo:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/src coopernurse/docker-nim nim c -r --verbosity:0 hello.nim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or to compile to a binary:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/src coopernurse/docker-nim nim c hello.nim
|
