Provide docker image

[adam-urbanczyk]

It would be nice to have a docker image for users who cannot use conda.

NB: this is a continuation of #153

I can own this one

Great!

Maybe not what you were looking for (I guess you were not talking about a Jupyter-enabled Docker image), but I managed to create this:

https://github.com/Peque/cadquery-binder

If you are interested, I can transfer the repo to CadQuery organization. I think it makes more sense there.

I have just created a repo that may help with this.

@RubenRubens Very cool, thanks for putting this together. Two questions:

1. Will these be available on Dockerhub (or similar)?
2. What's the difference between your jypyter-cadquery image and the one from the jypyter-cadquery project?

[RubenRubens]

1. Dockerhub is a container registry. Even if it is the most popular it's not the only one, there are other public container registries such as:

• Amazon ECR
• Dockerhub
• Github Container Registry (ghcr, for short)
• And many more...

The images are publicly available on ghcr, can be found on the repo as a package. A pipeline is missing to update these images automatically (it's work in progress). In the near future I have no plans to move to Dockerhub.

2. cq-jupyter is just a link to the @bernhard-42 repo.

Any suggestion, PR or criticism is welcome.

Sorry, copied the base URL without the header ID. Here's the link I meant to post.

The images are publicly available on ghcr

That's great, I'll read up on ghcr.

I spent some time integrating cq-cli into a CadHub Docker image so they can support CadQuery scripts. You've got a cq-cli image already, but just in case you're interested: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/cadhub/blob/0485f34ee1621860c92feb58a05a3576e3d1c67f/api/src/docker/cadquery/Dockerfile

@RubenRubens Would you be willing to add a description with some usage instructions to your cq-containers repo? I'd like to add a Docker section to the installation section of the readme that points users to your repo. I expect I'll just mirror or paraphrase the description you have in your repo when providing a link.

[RubenRubens]

The repo follows this structure:

.
├── cq-cli
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   └── readme.md 
├── cq-conda
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   └── readme.md 
└── readme.md 

The instructions are in ./cq-cli/readme.md and ./cq-conda/readme.md. The file ./readme.md is simply a table that contains information about cq-cli, cq-conda and cq-jupyter. I hope it is clear enough.
