Arduino IDE 2.x Docker Container

This repository provides a Dockerized version of the Arduino IDE 2.x, allowing you to run Arduino development environments in isolated containers.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Build and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ddetommaso/arduino-docker
   cd arduino-docker

2. Build the Docker image:

   cd docker
   ./build.sh

3. Start the Arduino IDE:

   ./run.sh

Customization

• Arduino IDE Version: Update the ARDUINO_IDE_VERSION variable in the docker/.env file to choose the Arduino IDE version.
• Arduino packages and libraries: Add packages and libraries to be installed in CLI-init.sh so that they will be installed with arduino-cli at the startup of the container.

Start with your project

During its first execution, the Arduino-IDE initialize the environment by installing core packages. By default the IDE is configured to save your files in the root directory /workspace/project which is binded with the project folder in your host machine. Moreover the arduino-cli.yaml will be an exact copy of the one inside the container, so that you can commit this configuration file in your project. Finally, the directories ~/.arduinoIDE, ~/.arduino15 and /workspace are configured to be volumes associated to the container, thus their content will survive even after quitting the container unless you explicitly remove them.
