Notes

• Specify the width and height on the command line:

  docker run -p 6080:6080 -e SIZEW=1024 -e SIZEH=768 unidata/cloudawips
  

• This repository uses a modified bootstrap.sh which overrides the unidata/cloudstream:centos7 file of the same name.

• AWIPS CAVE is the only application accessible through this app streaming environment, and is run full-screen, with no window decorations or titlebar.

• If you wish to run multiple sessions, or leverage dynamic port mapping, you would start CloudAWIPS as follows:

  docker run -P -it unidata/cloudawips
  

• By default, CloudAWIPS does not use a password. You may secure your CloudAWIPS session with a password by using the USEPASS environmental variable to set a password for the session.

  docker run -e USEPASS="password" -P -it unidata/cloudawips
