Docker based Ubuntu dev environment

A clean linux dev environment without all the associated heaviness of a virtual machine.

Usage

0. Ensure you have docker installed and running
1. Clone this repo
2. Open terminal and run, chmod +x build.sh
3. And run chmod +x run.sh
4. Run ./build.sh
5. Run ./run.sh

This should give you a linux prompt for a user called "devuser" with password "passwd". This user is a sudoer.

build.sh

docker build --rm -f Dockerfile -t ubuntu:project .

Dockerfile
