Build the container

To build this Dockerfile just type

docker build -t uleo-x:18.04 .

The entrypoint script will start the OpenPBS-service and ssh daemon.

Usage

For building modules there is already an existing user called easybuilder with assigned rights. Notice: Before you make your first connect via ssh to easybuilder be sure to set a user account password! Do this by executing a bash inside the container by

docker exec -it uleo-x bash

Now you´re inside the container as root user. Assign a password by

passwd easybuilder

Leave the shell and you can connect with your prefered ssh client to connect to easybuilder with your assigned password. Due to x11 forwarding is enabled at the ssh daemon you can connect with x11 fowarding to the user to edit some files with e.g. medit.

It is also possible to access user accounts via remote desktop. For Windows use Remote Desktop, Linux users can join via Remmina client.
