I am starting an internship soon where I will need to become familiar with OpenMC, and I have been reviewing the documentation and would like to try some examples on my system. I am using a Windows system, so I am trying to use OpenMC with docker. I was able to follow the steps in the Devloper’s Gui…

@LukeLabrie Run your docker image with an interactive bash session. docker run -it <image> /bin/bash You can run your python code using the python file_name.py command. Hope this will help!

Hi Pranto, When I run that command, instead of seeing “C:\Users\Luke>”, it changes to “root@0e5215463fdf:/#”, which I assume means that the image is running. But now the python file_name.py command does not work. It seems like the image doesn’t have access to these files. Am I missing something? T…

[image] LukeLabrie: But now the python file_name.py command does not work. @LukeLabrie You have to change to the directory where your input file is located. Ok, Let’s try to run a pincell problem. $ cd /opt/ && mkdir test_run && cd /opt/test_run $ cp ../openmc/examples/pincell/build_xml.py …

Ok, do you mind explaining what that first command is doing? I looked up the cp command on Docker and it says you need to specify a source and destination. The source I imagine would be my local pin_cell.py file, but how do I specify a destination on the image that I’m going to run in docker?

&& is used for chain commands such that the next command is run if and only if the preceding command exits without error. You can run each command separately $ cd /opt/ $ mkdir test_run $ cd /opt/test_run [image] LukeLabrie: but how do I specify a destination on the image that I’m going to run…

@LukeLabrie It sounds like you want to access files on your Windows drive from the docker container. If so, see this question on stackoverflow.

Paul, when I use the volume mount discussed in that post I do see my file in the docker container, but I am still unable to run it. See below: Running the docker image: docker run -it --name=my_openmc --rm -v /pin_cell.py debian/openmc:latest ls command: root@39c7893610d3:/# ls bin dev home …

Figured it out! The key is to use an absolute filepath instead of a relative file path, i.e. docker run -it --name=my_openmc1 --rm -v $pwd/pin_cell.py:/containerdir debian/openmc:latest Instead of: docker run -it --name=my_openmc1 --rm -v /pin_cell.py:/containerdir debian/openmc:latest Thank yo…

Another option for running files within the Docker container is to install VScode on windows along with the Remote Contain addition. This provides a terminal and a IDE that inherits from the container. [image] Download Visual Studio Code - Mac, Linux, Windows Visual Studio Code is free …

Could you please kindly elaborate the steps? I am using OpenMC for my project. I have no one to guide except this forum. I have installed Docker container, Visual Studio, Git, Dev Container extension, and Python. How do I execute? Is it possible for you to have a meeting with you so that I can shar…
