A simple containerized Nuclide server for a unified IDE experience.

Nuclide Docker

This is a very simple container with a working Nuclide server and watchman support.

Quick start

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:techcrystal/nuclide-docker.git
cd nuclide-docker
sudo docker-compose up -d

Running

First, reconfigure the root directory you want mapped to the container in the docker-compose.yml file, under the volumes section in the nuclide-server service.

Then, copy your public key to be used for authentication under this directory, and rename it to public_key. This file will be used as the authorized_keys file. If you could previously log in to the machine with a private key, you should be able to do the same without change. Alternatively, you may use a password based authentication by uncommenting the line that echoes root:passwd into chpasswd. It is highly recommended that you use a more secure password.

In case you need anything else to run in the container (an autoformatter, or a linter, for example), simply install them in the Dockerfile. Most of the work should be done on the host machine, though.

Finally, with Docker and docker-compose properly installed, all one needs to do should be simply

$ sudo docker-compose up -d

In Nuclide's "Add Remote Folder" dialog, use the following configuration:

• Username: root
• Server: Your server's IP address
• Port: 2022
• Initial Directory: /root/workspace
• Authentication Method: Private key (or Password, depending on how you chose to set up authentication)
• Remote Server Command: nuclide-start-server
