In this guide we will show you how to create a Docker container for Odysseus. Such a container can help you to run and share Odysseus more easily. If you want to user our predefined Odysseus Server Docker Container, see Run with Docker.

Step-by-step guide

We assume that you have a Linux system up and running, e.g. Ubuntu. If you want to try it out without changing your system or if you don't have a Linux machine, we recommend VirtualBox.

Installing Docker

1. Open a Terminal window.
2.  Type "docker"
3. If Docker is already installed, a help page with common Docker options and commands will show up.
4. If not, your Terminal will probably give you a hint how to install Docker. Under Ubuntu, it is "sudo apt-get install docker.io"

Preparing the Folder

Now we need a folder where we can put everything that we need in.

1. Create a folder, e.g. in your "Documents"-folder.
2. Move to that folder
