A public Docker container for WRF 3.8.1 with Fitch patches.
Docker image: Docker Hub
Singularity image:
The Docker container can be built using the script docker-build.sh,
which will produce an output file named build_output.txt (included in the
.gitignore).
The build will take some time, so it is recommended to use a terminal multiplexer, such as tmux.
One can view the full output at any time using a text editor to open build_output.txt.
To determine what step the build it is at, one can do:
cat build_output.txt | grep Step | tail -n 1
This will print the current command Docker is executing to build the container. To view Docker build errors, try:
cat build_output.txt | grep ERROR
This is actually the last command in the docker-build.sh script, so Docker build
errors will be listed upon completion. If there are no errors listed the container
was built successfully. Code and dependencies should be checked independently of
a Docker build error list.
Since there are some known problems with WRF 3.8.1, we have implemented the following patches provided by the WRF Users page:
All of these patches, as well as our custom patches, are included in the repository.
WRF and WPS compilation is performed in bash. Please see the Dockerfile for full commands.
