Docker container with a GAMA headless server and the middleware

[BrunoDatoMeneses]

Would it be possible to have a docker container with a GAMA headless server and the middleware in it ? It would ease the use of SIMPLE when there is no need to visualize the GAMA model.

Hi,

Indeed this feature could be interesting, however it's still complicated to install plugin on gama headless (without ever using GUI; and then with the only use of GAMA images).

I will probably later fork the gama repository to make a custom build with GAMA pre-configured with the SIMPLE plugin inside to ease thiis use.

For now, I did create a branch called docker with a Dockerfile allowing you to build the webplatform image. I'll merge this branch once I'll be able to fully deploy a docker-compose with everything working more easily.

I'll keep this issue open until then.

Here's a short README to start it quickly :

Build : docker build . -t simple
Run : docker run --rm -v ./.env:/app/.env -v ./learning-packages:/app/learning-packages simple

Note 1 : The folder learning-packages isn't embedded in the image to shrink it and make it more generic

Note 2 : Currently, the .env isn't read by the application (see #25 ), but it'll be soon. If you modify port there, do not forget to expose them.
