docker-slic3r-prusa3d

Containerized Slic3r (Prusa3D version/fork) - Dockerfile and supporting script

The header of the Dockerfile has more documentation, but to grab and run this (built on the Docker hub):

docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $PWD:/Slic3r/3d:z -v slic3rSettings:/home/slic3r -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --rm keyglitch/docker-slic3r-prusa3d

Your current directory will be mounted into the container at /Slic3r/3d (change the :z option as appropriate to :rw/:ro).
Settings are persisted into the slic3rSettings volume.
SELinux might block access to X by slic3r inside the container. Look in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log to see if this is happening (and for the relevant commands to fix).
Alternatively, there might be a plain permission error upon trying to access X. Try running xhost local:root to fix (this is a temporary fix and must be reapplied when restarting the host).

Sample error example (it's pretty cryptic, sigh):

No protocol specified

Building the latest release locally

If the hub version is ever out of date (or for any other reason), it is possible to build an image locally. getLatestSlic3rRelease.sh will automatically try to get the latest non-AppImage version through the GitHub API during the build process.

Building:

$ docker build -t docker-slic3r-prusa3d .

Convenience Script

A small script is provided with the docker run command above for placing in a folder referenced by $PATH. It also contains a commented out snippet for entering the container and fixing the persisted volume when things go wrong (or just for poking around).

Example

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/davidk/.local/bin:/home/davidk/bin
$ cp slic3r.sh /home/davidk/.local/bin/slic3r
$ slic3r
