Updated RPCEmu docker images

I’ve just updated the RPCEmu Docker images to the 0.9.4 version of RPCEmu.

Docker is a technology that allows a more lightweight installation of tools and applications than virtual machines. It is available for Linux, Windows and macOS. The RPCEmu Docker images contain an installation of RPCEmu, together with the ‘Easy Start’ bundles, which can be accessed by VNC. More information on Docker and its installation can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

This update also introduces a slightly different layout to the container’s file system:

• /riscos is now the RISC OS HostFS directory.
• /rpcemu is the RPCEmu installation
• /riscos-roms is the ROM directory.

As with the prior images, you can start the RPCEmu Docker containers with commands like:

docker run -it --rm -p 5901:5901 gerph/rpcemu-5:2
docker run -it --rm -p 5901:5901 gerph/rpcemu-3.7:2

The emulator is available via VNC to localhost:1 with the password password.

To include your current directory within the RISC OS filesystem, as $.Shared, you might use one of:

docker run -it --rm -p 5901:5901 -v $PWD:/riscos/Shared gerph/rpcemu-5:2
docker run -it --rm -p 5901:5901 -v $PWD:/riscos/Shared gerph/rpcemu-3.7:2

The dockerhub pages describing the images are here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gerph/rpcemu-5 & https://hub.docker.com/r/gerph/rpcemu-3.7

The sources to build the images are here: https://github.com/gerph/rpcemu-docker

The old Docker images have been tagged as 1, and the new 2 tagged images are also tagged latest.

Thanks, I’ve wanted to start to play with Docker for sometime now and was thinking RPCEmu may be a good start. Here you’ve done the work. I like that it has hostfs and vnc all ready to go.
