Making Mock Observations with Sunrise & Docker

In a previous post, I described how

Setting up the docker instance

Data volumes for file sharing

We will need somewhere to place our simulation outputs, configuration files, and ultimately, the output of sunrise. We will also need to let our docker container read and write to this directory. All you need to do in order to do this is use the -v host_directory:container_directory switch when starting your container. This will mount host_directory in the docker container at the container_directory mountpoint. In other words, we start our docker image with something like this command:

docker run -t -i -v ~/sunrise_data:/sunrise_data bwkeller/sunrise:latest 
/bin/bash
