Run Dockerized ALPS

Running ALPS on a Windows WSL-2 Docker

Grab a copy of an ALPS Docker image at: https://hub.docker.com/r/lidar532/alps-vnc

In a wsl-2 terminal window download alps from hub.docker.com with:

sudo docker pull lidar532/alps-vnc:2023-1226

Next, we will create a file to run the Dockerized ALPS with all the required settings: Using a text editor copy and paste the following code into the file named alps.docker-run:

docker run \
              --rm \
                --name alps-20150227-vnc \
                -p 5901:5901 \
                -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}\
                -v /mnt/d:/data \
                -it \
                lidar532/alps-vnc:2023-1226 ${CMD}

Exit the editor and mark the file executable with:

chmod u+x alps.docker.run
