This repo is for making the glacier flow modeling library icepack usable from the Framework for Ice Sheet-Ocean Coupling (FISOC). The repo consists of a set of dockerfiles and FISOC configuration scripts that enable running experiments with FISOC on any machine in a way that the environment appears the same on each.
The scripts for building each docker image are in separate subfolders with the naming scheme <ice sheet model>-<ocean model>, so for example the folder elmer-roms is a configuration for coupling ElmerIce to ROMS.
The file build.sh will clone all the necessary dependencies and build docker images for each model configuration we've used.
Build a docker image from a Dockerfile in a given directory:
docker build --tag <username>/<image name>:<image version tag> <directory of Dockerfile>
Start a container interactively so you can run commands at a terminal inside it:
docker run --interactive --tty <image name> bash
Same as above, but sync a directory on your system with a directory in the container:
docker run --interactive --tty \
--volume </path/on/host>:</path/on/container> \
<image name> bash
The commands to list the docker images and containers on your system are, respectively,
docker image ls
docker container ls
By default, these commands will not show intermediate images or stopped containers; you can see these by appending the --all flag.
A typical docker image can be 2GB or more, and even stopped containers take up disk space.
The command
docker system prune
will clean up anything that's obviously unused. The command to manually remove a docker image is
docker image rm <image name>:<image version tag>
The prune command won't remove images that you've specifically created yourself by a prior call to docker build, so to reclaim space from old images you might have to remove them manually.
