pgModeler Docker container

This image compiles & run pgModeler inside a Docker container.

Usage

Windows

1. Install X11 Manager for Windows, like vcxsrv (easiest way is using winget or chocolatey)

   winget install vcxsrv

   or

   choco install vcxsrv

   And configure it running XLaunch for multiple windows, start no client, check "disable access control" and IMPORTANT: SAVE the config to Desktop or %APPDATA%/Xming

2. Set environment variable (replacing your IP address, using 192.168.1.100 as a sample)

   Set-Variable -name DISPLAY -value 192.168.1.100:0.0

3. Run docker container

   docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY apazga/docker-pgmodeler

   Use it with volumes if needed (e.g. to save!):

   docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v F:\data\root:/root apazga/docker-pgmodeler:1.1.5

   You can also specify your DISPLAY IP directly if you don't want to define an environment variable:

   docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=192.168.1.100:0.0 -v F:\data\root:/root apazga/docker-pgmodeler:1.1.5

Windows (PowerShell script)

To ease launch of pgmodeler, make a copy of the run.ps1.example and name it run.ps1. Feel free to modify the environment variables inside the file. Making a copy will avoid losing your settings when you will update the repository.

Linux

Make a copy of the .env.linux.example file and name it .env.linux. Feel free to modify the environment variables.

Then use the provided script run.sh.

MacOS

Check first this Medium post and this Gist by @yuryalencar

On MacOS (following instructions tested on MacOS Big Sure), if you wish to run this image, you need to install XQuartz. With brew installed, do this:

brew install --cask xquartz

Then open XQuartz and allow connections:

xquartz > preferences > security > [mark to allow connections from network clients]

Add the following line to your .zshrc or run it in your terminal:

export DISPLAY=:0

You can test XQuartz right now with the command xeyes. It should launch a little graphical app.

Then make a copy of the .env.macos.example file and name it .env.macos. Feel free to modify the environment variables.

Finally, make sure XQuartz is started and launch the script run_macos.sh.

NOTE: The simplest way to ensure that pgModeler is using XQuartz is right-clicking XQuartz > Apps > Terminal and run the run_macos.sh script.

For using it without a network connection, you can also use the script run_macos_local.sh

I may have forgotten some steps, if any problem please open an issue.

Build image

If you want to build the image using the Dockerfile provided (it can take a while!)
