WebStorm IDE in a Docker container + Java 8 (1.8.0_191) JDK + Maven 3.6 + Python 3.5 + PIP3 18.1 + npm 3.5.2 + nodejs v4.2.6 + Gradle 5.1 + noVNC/VNC (as Cloud-based Container Desktop)

Components:

• WebStorm version "2018.3"
• java version "1.8.0_201" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)
• Apache Maven 3.6.0
• Python 3.5.2
• npm 6.4.1 + node v10.15.0 (from NodeSource official Node Distribution)
• Gradle 5.1
• VNC/noVNC for remote Desktop over Container Platform (Openshift, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Other tools: git wget unzip vim python python-setuptools python-dev python-numpy

Requirements

• Docker 1.13.1+ or latest 17.12.1-ce

Run (recommended for easy-start)

Image is pulling from openkbs/webstorm-vnc-docker

./run.sh

Mobile devices and Desktop PC supported / tested:

• SmartPhones: tested ok! iPhone5 Safari works though phone screen size being too small vs the desired HD 1920x1080. It should work across all the smartphones with HTML5-capable brwosers. Hence, to access with small phone screen, run with VNC_RESOLUTION=800x600 (or adjust it to fit your phone's screen size)
• Tablets: tested ok! Amazon Fire with noVNC works!. It should work across all the tablets with HTML5-capable brwosers. .
• Desktop PC or MacBook: tested ok! It should work across all PCs Desktop with HTML5-capable brwosers.

Connect to VNC Viewer/Client or noVNC (Browser-based VNC)

• connect via VNC viewer localhost:5901, default password: vncpassword
• connect via noVNC HTML5 full client: http://localhost:6901/vnc.html, default password: vncpassword
• connect via noVNC HTML5 lite client: http://localhost:6901/?password=vncpassword

Once it is up, the default password is "vncpassword" to access with your web browser:

http://<ip_address>:6901/vnc.html,
e.g.
=> Standalone Docker: http://localhost:6901/vnc.html
=> Openshift Container Platform: http://<route-from-openshift>/vnc.html
=> similarly for Kubernetes Container Platform: (similar to the Openshift above!)

Build

You can build your own image locally.

./build.sh

Making plugins persist between sessions

If you run "./run.sh" instead of "docker-compose up", you don't have to do anything as below.

WebStorm configurations are kept on $HOME/.WebStorm2018.1 inside the container, so if you want to keep them around after you close it, you'll need to share it with your host.

For example: (Version might be different - use run.sh instead)

docker run -ti --rm \

           -v $HOME/.WebStorm2018.3:/home/developer/.WebStorm2018.3 \
           -v `pwd`:/home/developer/workspace \
           openkbs/WebStorm-docker
