mvs38j

This runs the TK4- distribution of MVS 3.8J inside Docker.

All credit belongs to Juergen Winkelmann for creating TK4-, Volker Bande for creating TK3, the Hercules team for creating Hercules, IBM for creating MVS, etc. - all I did was package it into a Docker container.

License

I release these scripts and Dockerfile into the public domain, see LICENSE for details.

Note that license only applies to the scripts and Dockerfile, the underlying components (TK4-, Hercules, Debian, etc) remain under their respective copyright licenses.

Running it

./start
docker logs mvs38j

Now wait until startup message is displayed:
