I first installed OF7 on my mac using docker, and it worked great. The script creates a contained environment where only the directory I launched the script from exists, and all alias shortcuts (like src, run etc) work.


Then I installed OFv2006, and the docker script is different. It creates an image of my entire file system which always starts at my home directory so I have to navigate to the right folder, and the user directory shortcut aliases/variables don't work (like run or cd $FOAM_USER_APPBIN).


For example, echo $FOAM_RUN gives //OpenFOAM/lumpor-v2006/run, which doesn't exist The two '/' characters at the start confuse me. I tried changing "home" to "pwd" in some places in the v2006 docker file, but it doesn't seem to work.


Also, using the OF7 container I can make changes in my working directory from outside the terminal in real-time, while for the OFv2006 container I need to restart the container every time I edit any files.



Is there any way I could use the docker script for OF7 with OFv2006? Thanks

Could you please open an issue for discussion on develop.openfoam.com? It is something very important to understand how people actually want to use a containerized OpenFOAM. I can imagine that we may well wish to provide a few different scripts, or make different entry points within the container.
Your input (and others) would be most appreciated.
