Create a container (example)

git clone git@github.com:UMich-CURLY/docker_images.git

cd semantic_mapping_melodic

docker build --tag umrobotics/semantic_mapping_melodic .

bash run_cuda_docker.bash [container_name]

Open the container

docker ps -a

docker exec -it [container_name] /bin/bash

If you need to use sudo, just enter docker as root

docker exec -u root -it [container_name] /bin/bash

when you restart the machine and need to start your old docker container

docker ps -a --> Find you old container name

docker start [container_name]

• before your launch the new container: use docker run with disk mounting https://github.com/UMich-CURLY/docker_images/blob/master/semantic_mapping_melodic/run_cuda_docker.bash
• to a running container: use docker stop [container_name] to stop and then use docker commit [container_name] to launch the container again, with disk mounting command in docker run
