docker dev env for mate using openSuse.

README.md

Usage:

1.- Create docker image:

$ docker build -t mate-opensuse .

2.- Execute image:

$ docker run --rm -v ~/repos:/home/developer/repos -t mate-opensuse

3.- Connect using VNC:

# replace with the ip of the docker instance
$ gvncviewer 172.17.0.2

4.- Start mate-session

Once you have connected to the docker instance using vnc, an X11 desktop with xterm will appear. Just execute:

$ mate-session

5.- Now you have an env where you can clone mate repos and compile them. If you have missing dependencies, try installing them using zypper source-install xxx. e.g.:

# zypper source-install caja-extensions
