MyOS - Develop and Share Linux Environments

If you like the project, please remember to star it so we can grow the community!

If you want your environment listed in the showcase, please submit a PR

High Level

Uses Docker + Docker Compose to provide a consistent and reproducible build environment. Base image assumes the minimum while still being useful out of the box.

Usage

Assumptions

Everything depends on myos base Docker image. This image is available on Dockerhub, but you may also build it using the included Dockerfile.

OSX Users: For display forwarding to work, you'll need to have X11 Quartz. It's crappy and I'd love to find an alternative.

Ctrl-D is the most sure fire way of getting out of the container

Setup

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/rylandg/myos.git

Alias the CLI or add it to your PATH
```
alias myos="/path/to/myos/repo/myos.sh"
```

Create a template environment with empty config files

$ myos init ./somepath/
$ ls somepath
  vim tmux zsh docker-compose.yml

Enter directory and create your environment
```
$ cd somepath
$ myos create testmyos 
```
Connect to the environment via ssh
```
$ myos connect testmyos
```
Bring down the environment when you're done (this can lose data)
```
$ myos remove testmyos
```

Advanced usage

Assuming you've already installed the tool, my personal configuration can be used to test out MyOS.

Clone my personal MyOS config

$ git clone https://github.com/rylandg/rylandg-myosfiles

Create a MyOS based on my setup

$ cd rylandg-myosfiles
$ myos create rysetup
$ myos connect rysetup

API

Init

myos init <dir>

Creates the initial templates that the default docker-compose.yml expects. These are...

# vim
vim/binds.vim
vim/helpers.vim
vim/plugins.vim
vim/vimrc
# zsh
zsh/.zlogin
zsh/.zprofile
zsh/.zshenv
zsh/.zshrc
# tmux
tmux/tmux_saves
tmux/install_tmux.sh
tmux/tmux.conf

These files are empty (for the most part). You're expected to add your environment specific settings.

Create

myos create <envName>

Runs docker-compose up -d from the current directory

Connect

myos connect <envName>

Connects to a previously created MyOS environment

Restart

myos restart <envName>

Restart a previously created MyOS environment

Remove

myos remove <envName>

Remove a running MyOS environment
