@cowboygneox are you able to both extend and embed pythonnet using these docker images?

@denfromufa "extend" and "embed" are ambiguous terms in my scattered brain. I believe that what I've produced is "embedded", since I already installed pythonnet 2.1.0 within the container. Any future pip install pythonnet==2.1.0 and the requirement will be already satisfied.

As for "extend", I'm not sure what you are looking for. Can you elaborate?

I'm no longer working at the company where I was using pythonnet, so I probably won't be maintaining my Dockerfile variant in the future. Please feel free to fork/extend/take-over from https://github.com/benley/docker-wine-python-dotnet if it's of any use to you!

@cowboygneox are you able to both extend and embed pythonnet using these docker images?

embedding and extending are terms used in CPython C-API:

https://docs.python.org/3/extending/

@denfromufa It is my understanding that Docker does not prevent either. If you can do it with Python's Docker image, then mine is no different.

@denfromufa I don't want this to fallout of short-term view. Are you interested in converging this effort somehow?

@cowboygneox I'm interested in converging the effort, but after v2.2.0 release.

@denfromufa Ping me when ready.

@cowboygneox your latest recipe doesn't need to include the pythonnet source code anymore right?

@vmuriart Correct. I just uploaded the latest today to use Mono 4.8 and pythonnet 2.2.2. https://hub.docker.com/r/cowboygneox/pythonnet/

Yup, I noticed them while browsing 👍. Forewarning, I have limited docker knowledge so bare with me.

What do we need to combine efforts (not sure what you meant by this)?
I think you meant in relation to #240 to combine efforts, or was it to include a sample copy of the docker recipes?

@vmuriart I'm suggesting that pythonnet make an official group on Docker Hub and updates various Docker images that have environments all configured and ready to go.

Using Docker has saved me a ton of time in configuring environments, and no matter how hard your team works to make the bridge of Python to .NET easy to install and manage, Docker will always be easier.

I can help if you'd like me to. I'm pretty much already doing it, and it's not a lot of effort to share.

@cowboygneox thanks for the explanation and offer to help! Docker doesn't play nice with my computer so I don't have much experience with it, so your help is appreciated.

@denfromufa do we already have a docker group account? I don't want to cause another nameclash mess like coverity's.

Looks like the common practice (atleast from the links posted in #240) is to have a separate repo exclusive for the docker images/recipes. I made a repo for this (https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet-docker). So next steps would be

• Create account (if we don't have one)
• Submit pr to https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet-docker with images
• Upload images to docker

@vmuriart @cowboygneox I created pythonnet account, but cannot convert it to organization. See the error in screenshot below. So I created pythondotnet organization and added you both there:

cloud.docker.com/app/pythondotnet

isn't the account name you created pythonnet? looks like you are putting your own username.

@vmuriart yes, I created pythonnet, but in order to convert it to organization, I had to create username denfromufa and link it during this step in the screenshot above. For some reason docker cloud thinks that denfromufa is not a valid Docker ID. Anyway use either pythonnet or pythondotnet for now. You are in both accounts. I will try to convert pythonnet to organization tomorrow.

Looking back I should have created denfromufa and then pythonnet organization from within it.

@denfromufa Let me know if you get a pythonnet org. I'll get started on the images to send a PR for.

@cowboygneox @vmuriart here is the issue I posted on docker forum:

https://forums.docker.com/t/cannot-convert-docker-cloud-account-pythonnet-to-organization/28975

only commercial users can contact support directly.

Made a pull request and pushed some images to Docker: pythonnet/pythonnet-docker#1

fixed the group pythonnet and made it an organization. We can use it now instead of pythondotnet

Can you add all of us to the team?

yup account its all setup. only thing left is to figure out why its using my gravatar

ok after many hiccups my docker installation is working on windows 10!

@cowboygneox thanks for including the shell script to build and deploy. Images are now on https://hub.docker.com/r/pythonnet/pythonnet/tags/

I deleted the images from pythondotnet to avoid confusion, but I can't figure out how to delete that organization.

I updated installation options:

Hello all,
What are the current docker instructions?

@vkhombal there are some docker images as of last year (see wiki), but we are experiencing some permission issues with latest docker builds in 2018:
