Has anybody attempted to set up a docker style container that can set any team up with a ready to go in a windows environment?
Programs wishlist include:
-Java
-Eclipse (both Java and C++ set up)
-WPI lib
-RobotBuilder
-GRIP
-FRC Update Suite
-SmartDashboard
-Labview? |
There's already something similar to that in the Microsoft environment, App-V. The problem with that though is that the licensing is prohibitively restrictive. In windows 10, it's only available in the Windows 10 Student and Enterprise editions. There are App-V clients available on the Windows 8 and 7 environments, but the way it's licensed I doubt it would work in FIRST.
Altiris had a software virtualization solution that was similar, but I don't think the SVS team survived the Symantec buyout and I think the last supported client was on Windows 7.
