Using Docker to complete the course

[evelynnmimijae]

I am borrowing a laptop and want to avoid installing a bunch of programs. Is it possible to use Docker as a container to complete this course? If so, what are the key differences I should be aware of?

Hmm... There would be a lot of weird docker stuff to do there.

Maybe you could try github codespaces?

or use gitpod for each section?

Ie:

Hmmm, thanks for the recommendations.

(Please excuse the late reply. Holiday craze at work!)

The main tool used on security course is Foundry and you can securely install in on docker using this guide: https://book.getfoundry.sh/tutorials/foundry-docker

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to create a container with all the dependencies you need for smart contract development and auditing with docker.

Thanks for the insight. I decided against Docker because as @PatrickAlphaC pointed out, it's too complicated. Also, I realized that I need to take the Foundry course first. Maybe that's why Docker is too complicated for me.

@evelynnmimijae yeah, I think is still possible to configure docker properly to work for this but it requires a lot of tinkering and mess things up is really easy. Glad you decided to take the Foundry course, have a wonderful year!!

Likewise 🙂
