# PTUT Virtual Environment


## Requirements

You need a consistent Linux System with the following packages :
- `docker`
- `make`
- `cpp` (C pre-processor)


## Commands

In order for the environment to be launched, we need to run configuration commands, installation instructions, etc and store the final state in a **docker image**. Then we can launch several **containers** from that initial image.

The building process is automated with the *Makefile* and the `make` command.

---
### 1. Build the Dockerfile

```bash
make build
```

- Creates the *Dockerfile* using the *c pre-processor* to include the files in `docker/include` in `docker/main`. The final output is located at the root of the repository in `./Dockerfile`.

---
### 2. Create the docker image

```bash
make image
```

- Creates the **docker image** from the Dockerfile. If `./Dockerfile` is missing, it will automatically launch `make build`.

---
### 3. Launch the container

```bash
make run
```

- Builds the image (*make image*)
- Launches the container (*make run*)

---
### 4. Properly kill a container

```bash
make kill
```

- Properly kills a running container


---
### 5. Launch the CI loop

```bash
make boot
```

- Launches an infinite loop that
	1. Updates the git repository (*git pull*)
	2. Builds the image (*make image*)
	3. Launches the container (*make run*)
	4. When the container stops, delete it and reloop

- to have a real time log, launch `make log`
- to connect to a tty launch `make tty`
