Visdom

If you want to run visdom server by a docker container this is for you.

Build your own image

Not all versions of original project are released, so if you want to build a particular version (I mean "commit-ish") of sources then update the commitish file:

$ docker build -t hypnosapos/visdom:$(cat commitish)

Default version of python is 3.6 (build arg PY_VERSION) and distribution is slim-stretch (build arg DIST), thus add your custom values if your want other base docker image, here an example:

$ docker build --build-arg PY_VERSION=3.5 --build-arg DIST=slim -t hypnosapos/visdom:3.5-slim-$(cat commitish)

Play

Before running the container take a look at the following env variables ( -e NAME=VALUE):

Name	Default
PORT	8097
ENV_PATH	$HOME/.visdom
LOGGING_LEVEL	INFO
HOSTNAME	localhost
BASE_URL	/
READONLY	True
ENABLE_LOGIN	False
FORCE_NEW_COOKIE	False

Now we're ready to run the container

$ docker run -it -p 8097:8097 [-e NAME=VALUE] hypnosapos/visdom:latest

In order to preserve data or sessions we recommend you attach a volume to persist them (obviously):

$ docker run -it -v <path>:<env_path> -p 8097:8097 -e ENV_PATH=<env_path> hypnosapos/visdom:latest

Using default values, server would be ready at http://localhost:8097

Trying visdom

To play with some examples we recommend you try:

docker run -d -p 8097:8097 --name visdom hypnosapos/visdom:latest
docker exec -it visdom bash -c "python /root/visdom/example/demo.py"

And then check out examples at: http://localhost:8097

I hope it helps 😆 !!
