    From Buzz McCool@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 8 16:04:21 2023
    A thank you to "forthy42" (Perhaps Matthias Trute?) who created a Gforth container for Docker.

    https://hub.docker.com/r/forthy42/gforth

    # My Dockerfile, needed Docker engine installed and my
    # Forth test program in the same directory with it.
    # $ docker pull forthy42/gforth
    # $ docker build -t forthtest-docker .
    # $ docker run forthtest-docker

    FROM forthy42/gforth
    COPY . /app
    CMD gforth /app/test.fth
    # End my Dockerfile

    I see that mal
    https://github.com/kanaka/mal
    uses Docker.
    Can you explain how to use it, what are the benefits?
    In particular I'm now running a gforth that comes with Debian.
    0.7.3. Can one have a more modern version of gforth using
    Docker this way?

    That's useful to know, thanks

    When I change the Dockerfile CMD line to just print out the Gforth version,

    CMD gforth --version

    I get on the output:

    $ docker run forthtest-docker
    gforth 0.7.9_20230414 amd64

    So the answer is yes, the Docker Gforth appears quite recent (April 14th
    2023).

    My understanding of docker is that its primary purpose is to be able to run multiple instances of an app on the system, each in its own container. These "containers" are apparently more "light-weight" than an instance of a VM (like VM Ware for example),
    so a system can support more of them concurrently.

    I haven't had a need for such a setup in my world.

    What kind of reference is this? Are we supposed to register with Docker
    only to find out what this is all about?

    BTW, you can run Gforth interactively via Docker as well by using the
    -it flag:

    # My Dockerfile, needs Docker engine installed.
    # $ docker pull forthy42/gforth
    # $ docker build -t forth-docker .
    # Run Gforth interactively:
    # $ docker run -it forth-docker

    FROM forthy42/gforth

    # End my Dockerfile

    $ docker run -it forth-docker

    Hi Albert
    I am surprised that somebody hasn't responded to your post.

    https://github.com/uho/docker-forth

    He has put together docker engines for some of the free forth engines that
    will allow you to run multiple instances of FORTH.

    That reveals the usefulness of Docker, at last. Thank you.
    I can benefit because I test 32 and 64 bits version of lina
    on the same system. They should all be called lina, not lina64 and
    lina32. (As are all the version that run on ARM and RISCV systems.)
    There precious little differences between 32 and 64 system.

    Sorry, been busy and had not even installed docker desktop in a while...
    which cause me to loose my reply, so I'll start over and be a little more kind...

    The Dockerfile:
    FROM docker/whalesay:latest

    RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y gforth

    CMD gforth

    Simple run:
    C:\Users\druff>docker run druffer/gforth
