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.

Improve readme

The readme should specify that the that --net="host" and -privileged=trueas pointed out by @Bplotka

Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable

I received the following error when running dlsniper/docker-intellij according to the readme:

$ docker run -ti \
           --net="host" \
           --privileged=true \
           -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
           -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \

To resolve this, I ran sudo xhost + (note this method is very insecure, as it allows all incoming X connections).

setup my license in the container when starting

Hi, I have a personal license of intellij and I would like to set the license inside of the container ones and for all.
Either by rebuilding a new image and put the license at the right location. or has a volume at runtime.

Is this possible?
Thanks, awesome work!

The GUI is quite slow

Hello @dlsniper

have you found any ways how to speed up the GUI? The main menu, inline editing and the autocomplete are quite slow.

SSH tunneling with compression? Any special configuration?

Thanks a lot
