2. Startup docker if not done so automatically

3. Run the image

   docker run -it rodenhausen/e3-docker-image

   If you want to use files of your host system you can mount them when running the image. If your host is a windows system you may for example do something like this.

   docker run -v C:\Users\user\e3-data:/e3-data -it rodenhausen/e3-docker-image

   Additionally, to automatically copy produced image files from e3 to your host you may want to configure e3 as follows.

   e3 set config imageViewer = cp {file} /e3-data

   • To maintain the e3 state between docker runs you can:

     • If you have not removed the container, you first have to know your the container name or id. You can find it from the following output

       docker ps -a

       Then you can restart and attach to it doing

       docker start <container-name-or-id>
       docker attach <container-name-or-id>

     running, you can choose to resume it where you left off

     • Use the docker volume option and bind it to your .e3 directory. E.g. as follows

       docker run -v C:\Users\user\.e3:/root/.e3 -it rodenhausen/e3-docker-image

     • Configure a git repository and use the commands git push and git pull to store the state between docker runs
