After a break of one year a did a look at the new webeditor “Eclipse Che”. To my surprise, Eclipse made a huge step forward.
Currently I think to myself “should I change from Atom to Eclipse Che”?
Let me give you some hints how to avoid obstacles with the official documentation.
Starting Eclipse Che
“docker run -it eclipse/che start” doesn’t work for me at my CoreOS, Mac or Linux Docker Installation. The results was this one:
INFO: Welcome to Eclipse Che!
INFO:
INFO: You are missing a mandatory parameter:
INFO: 1. Mount 'docker.sock' for accessing Docker with unix sockets.
INFO: 2. Or, set DOCKER_HOST to Docker's daemon location (unix or tcp).
INFO:
INFO: Mount Syntax:
INFO: Start with 'docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock' ...
INFO:
INFO: DOCKER_HOST Syntax:
INFO: Start with 'docker run -it --rm -e DOCKER_HOST=<daemon-location> ...'
The solution that worked for me on all platforms is:
docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v ~/test/:/data eclipse/che start
This solution is explained here and here.
