Docker build for ghcjs

This Docker image is for people who would like to try ghcjs.

It will take a few hours to build. At the end you will have a system that you can login to and run ghcjs on your project.

To use it, you will need an OS which can run Docker.

How to build

git clone https://github.com/rvl/ghcjs-docker.git
cd ghcjs-docker
docker build -t ghcjs:base .

How to use it

Assuming you have your Haskell project at ~/myproject, start a container with this command:

docker run -t -i -v $HOME/myproject:/home/ghcjs/myproject --name myproject ghcjs:base

From within the container, you would run commands such as:

cd myproject
cabal sandbox init ghcjs
cabal install --only-dependencies --ghcjs
cabal install --ghcjs

GHCJS Examples

The ghcjs-examples repo is helpful to look at.

To build the weblog examples:

git clone https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs-examples.git
git clone https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs-jquery.git
cabal install --ghcjs ./ghcjs-jquery
cabal install --ghcjs sodium
cd ghcjs-examples/weblog
./build.sh

Docker Registry Hub

If you don't want to build your own, you can get the image which I have built from the Docker Hub.

docker pull rodney/ghcjs
