Running a docker image:

1. Download the argo-container repository using git clone https://github.com/argo-marketplace/argo-container.git

2. To install docker on AWS Amazon Linux - follow these instructions

3. Install docker

   • To run on Windows: download docker toolbox and run the docker quickstart terminal.
   • cd argo-container to navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile file.

4. Build the docker image

   • Run the command docker docker image build -t argo-container . (note the dot). This command will run the file containing the instructions to run the dockerfile. It will take some time to build the image

5. Run the docker image

   • To run the docker image locally run the command docker run -it --rm -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 argo-container
   • Once the image starts running, launch the browser and run the file on the IP address mentioned in the docker quickstart terminal (mostly 192.168.99.100:6080)

   • NOTE: if using Mac, run the image on localhost:6080

6. Once the image is created, launch the docker quickstart terminal and execute docker run -it --rm -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_PASSWORD=mypassword 'argo-container'

mypassword is a user-defined alphanumeric password that you can change. It will be used to login to the ubuntu docker image in the next step.

7. Launch the browser and run the file on the IP address mentioned in the docker quickstart terminal (mostly 192.168.99.100:6080) if windows and localhost:6080 on mac
