## SpaceVim and Neovim in Docker This Dockerfile builds neovim `HEAD` and installs the latest available version of SpaceVim. You might want to use this for several reasons: * Have a consistent version of Neovim and SpaceVim as long as the machine supports Docker. * Try SpaceVim without modifying your current Vim/Neovim configuration. * Try the latest Neovim with SpaceVim. * Try SpaceVim with a newer version of Python. * Debug SpaceVim configurations. e.g. when posting a bug report if you can reproduce it in this container then there's a higher chance that it is a true bug and not just an issue with your machine. ### FAQ Isn't Docker stateless? Won't I have to reinstall all plugins each time I launch the container? * During the build we call `dein#install()` so all plugins are installed and frozen. Your custom configurations can be added as an additional build step using the Docker `COPY` command. ### Build You can build using the supplied `Makefile`: ``` make build ``` or call the command manually using: ``` docker build -t nvim -f Dockerfile.nvim-python3 . ``` ### Run You can run the container using: ``` docker run -it nvim ``` but that isn't terribly useful since changes made inside the container won't be visible outside. More useful is mounting the current working directory inside the container: ``` docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/spacevim/src nvim ``` Even better is an alias `dnvim` which will do this automatically: ``` alias dnvim="docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/spacevim/src nvim" ```
