Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your machine.

How to Use

In the directory you want to test this config use: sudo docker run -it --rm -v=$PWD:/home/temp/hostfiles lenoxo/nvimdocker:latest nvim

How to Build

1. Place the .local and .npm folders with the cache inside ./context/ after installing plugins in another container.
   • In my case, I did it the first time with a bind mount in the current working directory, like this:

     cd ./context/
     mkdir .local .npm
     sudo docker run -d -v=$PWD/.npm:/root/.npm -v=$PWD/.local:/root/.local --name alpvim alpine:latest tail -f /dev/null

   • After that, install dependencies, clone the config, and open Neovim to install plugins with lazyvim:

     apk add git lazygit neovim ripgrep nodejs npm alpine-sdk --update
     git clone https://github.com/Lenoxo/nvim-config.git ~/.config/nvim
     nvim

   • Now you can stop the container, and the cache is saved in .local and .npm within context/.
2. Run sudo docker build -t nvimdocker . to build the image using the cache in context/.
3. Lastly, you can use sudo docker run -it --rm -v=$PWD:/home/temp/hostfiles nvimdocker:latest nvim to run Neovim.
