bacon-docker-apps

Pjot "Peter the Author of BaCon " created a Dockerfile for BaCon (official Docker)

https://basic-converter.proboards.com/thread/1289/bacon-docker?page=1&scrollTo=14990

that will work for non GUI BaCon apps (the minimum image needed for BaCon and compiler)

of course you can add to this image and rebuild it for your projects

this allows for a great starting point

and a big thanks for his work getting docker to work with BaCon!

---

For my needs ...The Next Step is build some Baconized Qt5 apps

---

I wanted a Qt5 BaCon docker so that I could build some Qt5 GUI apps

ADDING qt5 TO THE MIX and at the same time documenting how

to build a complete qt5 app

it is a little work setting up everything for the first time

but once done ;you can develop docker images then delete them

keeping your operating system pristine clean and confirming that the end result

will work for everyone with no missing dependencies! (we hope)

with very limited RAM but if it works on the RPI3 there are no excuses anymore!

GET TO THE CODE

some small edits were made replaced apt with apt-get
and added dependencies for Qt5
this builds a new image withQt5 support

Dockerfile download Dockerfile

FROM debian:bullseye-slim


RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y \
                                    build-essential libtcmalloc-minimal4 \
                                    flex xterm indent ksh qtbase5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev

COPY . /usr/src/bacon
WORKDIR /usr/src/bacon

RUN LDFLAGS=-l:libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 ./configure 
RUN make
RUN  make install

WORKDIR /tmp

1.)We need the bacon source code

1.b)download it ,uncompress it and cd into the folder

2.) copy the Docker file above into the bacon folder (you just cd into)

3.) docker build -t bacon-qt5 .

4.) First check to see if bacon is working only

docker run bacon-qt5:latest bacon -v

5.) Build a Qt5 baconized full featured complete app

serial-gui-1.0 source code

download it uncompress it and we will copy all files and images folder to your /tmp
from this point remember we need to communicate with your docker image
and the docker image will only be able to use the /tmp directory in your operating system
we will give it permission for that later

6.) CD into /tmp on your os system if you are not already there then run the next command

export COMPILE=" --rm --volume $(pwd):/tmp --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --env HOME=/tmp bacon-qt5:latest bacon"

7.)docker run $COMPILE serial-terminal.bac

8.)if all went well and it compiled we run it with

./serial-terminal

Enjoy have a cup of coffee
