Pitivi development environment Docker image and scripts

All of your Pitivi files will live outside the Docker container and be mounted inside it when it runs. So make sure you create a pitivi-dev folder somewhere and inside that folder, use Git to clone your fork of the repository.

Each time your X server runs, you will want to grant access to your docker containers:

export IP=$(ifconfig -l | xargs -n1 ipconfig getifaddr)
/usr/X11/bin/xhost + $IP
/usr/X11/bin/xhost + local:docker

Then you can run the image in a container (be sure to set the path to your pitivi-dev folder):

docker rm pitivi-dev
docker run -it --privileged --name pitivi-dev -e DISPLAY=$IP:0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /path/to/your/pitivi-dev:/pitivi-dev soft261/pitivi-dev:latest

Now you can run source bin/pitivi-env as normal and then run the ptvtests or pitivi commands.

If you need to run gdb within this environment, you can with the following command:

ptvenv gdb python3 -ex "\"run /pitivi-dev/pitivi/bin/pitivi\""
