gap-docker

This is a docker environment for GAP system, which is, comparing to the official docker image, created via mulit-stage build to minimize its size.

The difference between the regular version and the slim version is that the slim version does not contain certain softwares required by some GAP packages. For example,

• cxsc
• fplll
• singular
• 4ti2
• pari
• Macaulay2

Quickstart

docker-compose

Take this approach when using GAP system in Jupyter notebook. In such a case, one needs to download the repo, and then run the container via docker-compose:

$ git clone https://github.com/psistwu/gap-docker.git
$ cd gap-docker
$ docker-compose up

After the container is up, copy and paste the URL of Jupyter notebook (shown in the console) to your browser. For example,

http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=cafdfc89d863dad4cd3696bf62b43bed69fe7df85bee9fe8

If the container runs on a remote system, replace 127.0.0.1 by the ip address of the remote system.

docker run

Alternatively, take this approach instead when using GAP system in console. In such a case, run the following command:

$ docker run -it --rm psistwu/gap-docker:[tag] gap

Check the repo on Docker Hub for available tags.
