Run Debian as docker container

Setup

Start a container in detached mode:

docker run -dit --name deb -e "LANG=C.UTF-8" -w "/root" debian:latest bash

Connect to it and do initial setup:

docker exec -it deb bash
echo "debconf debconf/frontend select Noninteractive" | debconf-set-selections
apt update && apt upgrade -y

apt install -y locales
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && localedef -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias en_US.UTF-8

apt install -y curl
curl -L bit.ly/branneman-dotfiles | bash

exit

Run shell in container

If the container is not running, run docker start deb first. Then connect to the container with:

docker exec -it deb bash
