This repository documents my understanding of Docker and my attempt to build a Docker image for DGTD (Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain) code. Docker allows us to package applications and their dependencies into isolated containers, ensuring consistency across different environments.
The documentation is up `here <https://acem.ece.illinois.edu/docs/Docker>`__.
## Building the Docker Image
Building the Docker Image
-------------------------
To build the Docker image for DGTD code, follow these steps:
### Command Line Interface (CLI)
Command Line Interface (CLI)
----------------------------
Use the following CLI commands to build the Docker image:
```bash
..code-block:: sh
docker build -t sample-image .
```
Replace `sample-image` with your preferred image name.
### Platform Compatibility
Platform Compatibility
----------------------
The Docker image can be built on both UNIX and Windows platforms. Here’s how I set it up:
- **UNIX:** Use Docker Engine.
- **Windows:** Install Docker Desktop.
## Testing the Docker Image
