Running Flow in Docker

Setting up Docker and pulling the OPM release

To run a Docker container, we first need to install Docker. On modern Ubuntu machines, this can be done using the commands

# Make sure apt-get is updated
sudo apt-get update

# Install docker
sudo apt-get install -y docker.io

On other platforms, you can look at the docker installation instructions on how to install on your system. Docker is supported on Linux, macOS, and recent versions of Windows.

Now that we have installed Docker, we can fetch the precompiled Docker image from the Docker hub with the following command:

sudo docker pull openporousmedia/opmreleases

This will download the Docker image repository calledĀ opmreleases from theĀ openporousmedia user to your local machine. Downloading will take some time depending on your connection speed, since a typical image size is a couple of hundred megabytes of data. Once this has completed, you should have a command window similar to the following.
