Dockerised OpenCV (3.4)

A dockerised version of OpenCV with everything you need to compile and test OpenCV-based applications.

Execute scripts

The following script will execute the scripts /script/to/run; /or/set/of/them as if they were run on your machine.

In order to see what is going inside the docker we need to sync the displays with --env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw".

Also, we will share the source code directories -v=$(pwd)/..:$(pwd)/.. (this assumes you are doing an out-of-source build and you have a parent directory with the build and src as children). And we set the current directory as our working directory -w=$(pwd).

docker run -it --rm \
  --env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
  -v=$(pwd)/..:$(pwd)/.. -w=$(pwd) \
  adnrv/opencv \
  /script/to/run; /or/set/of/them

Build applications

Note that you can build applications using the same principle as above. You only need to replace the set of instructions with the make directives.

Build the image locally

You can build the image locally by executing the Dockerfile

docker build -t opencv .

This will create an image named opencv that you can execute.
