Manage your docker containers.

dmux or Docker MUltiplXer is a script that managers docker containers which are intended for compiling software. It works by starting a docker container with current directory mounted as the working directory of docker and giving you a bash shell inside the container. With this, you can simply execute commands which are intended for compiling the software in the docker, isolated from your host.

It simply works by running docker run bash with a container name and current directory mounted as working directory.

For example, one can use these commands to compile a rust program.

root@crow:~# git clone https://github.com/HirbodBehnam/lossy_link
root@crow:~# cd lossy_link/
root@crow:~/lossy_link# dmux rust
root@dmux-rust:/workdir# cargo build --release
root@dmux-rust:/workdir# file target/release/lossy_link
target/release/lossy_link: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, ...
root@dmux-rust:/workdir# exit
root@crow:~/lossy_link# file target/release/lossy_link
target/release/lossy_link: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, ...

Just copy the script to somewhere in your path and make it executable.

curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/dmux https://github.com/HirbodBehnam/dmux/raw/master/dmux.sh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dmux
