Docker

Docker can be used for installation and reproducible environment creation on any platform, through virtualized application containers. We provide Dockerfiles for each environment, located in /bin/

Build a Docker Image

To download environment’s Dockerfile and build an image:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Farama-Foundation/Shimmy/main/bin/dm_lab.Dockerfile | docker build -t dm_lab -f - .

Or, clone our GitHub repository and build from the Dockerfile locally:

docker build -t dm_lab -f bin/dm_lab.Dockerfile .

Running a Container

Then, to run the Docker container with an interactive bash terminal:

docker run -it dm_lab bash

Stop the container:

docker stop dm_lab

Remove the stopped container:

docker rm dm_lab
