Is it possible to create a Docker Image where you’ll have everything you need to develop with Ionic?
With the ability of starting a new project, adding dependencies, plugins, etc. as you’d normally do.
Thanks

Hi, I managed to do this with this Dockerfile (CAREFUL: Notice that I’ve it has alot of android build tools and APIs, remove the ones you don’t need because with them the container’s size will be 20GB, you can check what you exactly need here https://hub.docker.com/r/marcoturi/ionic/~/dockerfile/ , just change the api version for the one you want or just add everything in the code below if you want all):

Command to build:
sudo docker build -t ionic3 .
Then just use this command and you’ll get into the container and bind your current directory with the ./Sources one from the container and also the USB devices. Since you’re inside the container and the directories and USB are binded, you can use any command from npm, ionic or cordova:
sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v $(pwd):/Sources --rm -p 8100:8100 -p 35729:35729 ionic3 bash
The commands are for Linux, they might change if you’ll use it on Windows.

I was wondering if we could make a lightweight binary creator docker image to make ios and android packages.
