Anchor: The Docker Clone

A repository containing our learnings and implementations for the project "Anchor: The Docker Clone" under IEEE-NITK

Currently, the repository stores the (partial) code and requirements for the run command.

Prerequisites

We're using Python 3.8 for the run command, let's try sticking to that.

Setup

  1. Create a VM either on your system using Virtual-Box, or a cloud VM (preferably) using your free Azure or AWS Student Account.
  2. Clone the Git repository. How exactly you wish to clone it - whether directly into the VM or into your system and then scp it into the VM is upto you.
  3. Build and Install the Linux module 
    • cd setup
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
cd ..
  4. Install the Tabulate module by running 
    • pip install tabulate
  5. Run the anchor_run.py file according to instructions given in the file.
  6. Run anchor_ps.py when a container is running to get the list of running containers.

Basic Guide

ubuntu-export.tar is the base image we would be using for now since it has the Ubuntu filesystem loaded from a running container. You can test your working by running basic commands within the container.

Anchor run

Example:

python3 anchor_run.py run -i ubuntu-export /bin/echo "Hello World"

Should print Hello World and exit.

Anchor ps

Example:

python3 anchor_ps.py
