Docker image for IntelliJ IDEA Community, Go and Go plugin

Docker image for IntelliJ IDEA Community, Go and Go plugin

The image contains the following software:

• IntelliJ IDEA Community 2016.2
• Go 1.6.3
• Go plugin (nightly, 0.12.1724)
• Markdown plugin (release, 2016.1.20160405)

Running

NOTE As of Docker 1.10(?) you need to specify full paths for mounts.

By running the following command you'll be able to start the container

docker run -tdi \
           --net="host" \
           --privileged=true \
           -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
           -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
           -v ${HOME}/.IdeaIC2016.1_docker:/home/developer/.IdeaIC2016.1 \
           -v ${GOPATH}:/home/developer/go \
           dlsniper/docker-intellij

The command will do the following:

• save the IDE preferences into <your-HOME-dir>/.IdeaIC2016.1_docker
• mounts the GOPATH from your computer to the one in the container. This assumes you have a single directory. If you have multiple directories in your GOPATH, then see below how you can customize this to run correctly.

Customizing the container

You can replace the ${GOPATH} environment variable to a hardcoded path that you have in your directory.

You can also choose to save the preferences in another directory.

For an example script to launch this, see below:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

GOPATH=/path/to/your/GOPATH
PREF_DIR=${HOME}/.IdeaIC2016.1_docker

docker run -tdi \
           --net="host" \
           --privileged=true \
           -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
           -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
           -v ${PREF_DIR}:/home/developer/.IdeaIC2016.1 \
           -v ${GOPATH}:/home/developer/go \
           dlsniper/docker-intellij

Updating the container

To update the container, simply run:

docker pull dlsniper/docker-intellij

Each of the plugins can be updated individually at any time, and other plugins can be installed as well.

However, to update IntelliJ IDEA itself, the docker image will need to be updated.
