This docker runs GNU Octave - an open source Matlab - which provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. The Octave GUI have to be accessed through a browser in a noVNC windows.
- Xvfb - X11 in a virtual framebuffer
- x11vnc - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server
- noNVC - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer
- Fluxbox - a small window manager
- octave - to demo that it works
docker pull epflsti/octave-x11-novnc-dockerdocker run -p 8083:8083 -ti epflsti/octave-x11-novnc-docker:latestfirefox http://localhost:8083- octave is launched, just run some script e.g. my_sombrero.m
Adding the parameter -e SCREEN_RESOLUTION=<width>x<height> the screen size displayed is adjusted to the one in the environment variable. By default it is 1024x768.
If your source files are in your host then just add the -v parameter for example
docker run -p 8083:8083 -ti -v $(pwd):/source epflsti/octave-x11-novnc-docker:latest
docker build -t epflsti/octave-x11-novnc-docker:latest .docker run -p 8083:8083 -ti epflsti/octave-x11-novnc-docker:latestfirefox http://localhost:8083- octave is launched, just run some script e.g. my_sombrero.m
