It’s a little disappointing they mention docker a ton of times when it’s simh doing the heavy lifting here (though it looks like a very user friendly way to package it!)—just a shout out to the azing project would mean a lot to some people.
The PiDP-11 is using simh already. I'm currently putting together a museum of PDP-11 UNICes for it. Although since the target is an 11/70 I'm not so sure we'll have v1.
dunno man, the following seems easier and cleaner to me:
pacman -S simh
apt install simh
pacman -Rns simh
?? On that note is there anything that will get rid of unused docker layers when you get rid of an image? sort of like -Rns in pacman? or aptitude remove except for docker images?
AFAIK layers are automatically garbage collected if you delete all images and containers that depend on them. Bear in mind that containers are not automatically deleted after shutting down, unless you give the --rm argument.
You can list them with docker ps -a, and delete all containers by running docker rm $(docker ps -aq).
I really hope this sycophantic obsession with "dockerizing" things blows over. It is not impressive to run a single isolated terminal process in a docker container, and docker doesn't write your software for you.
