# Windows-Docker-Pipe for [RobloxStarter](https://github.com/AquaJo/RobloxStarter)



This is a tool that enables working on Roblox-Projects using [RobloxStarter](https://github.com/AquaJo/RobloxStarter) inside of docker, so you don't need to install much of the required tools.

Because Roblox-Starter (former WSL2-Project) is dependant on the Windows-Host it was necessary to build a Host-Command-Integrator for docker, undergoing its sense of isolation.\

**Therefore its also a project that could be used as a docker-build template for enabling some windows commands - functionality inside of a docker-container.\

Use this project at your own "risk"!**



## How to use?



You can use this template directly by cloning this repo & executing the [buildContainer.ps1](./buildContainer.ps1) or by using it as a submodule included in [RobloxStarter](https://github.com/AquaJo/RobloxStarter) and running the desired npm command `npm run docker`.\

Be sure to run the npm command or the ps1 file before each session, so the command-piper is active! It shouldn't overwrite the existing container.



## What do I do?



I mainly make some functionality of windows commands and windows-host access available inside of docker containers by letting them address `powershell.exe` and `cmd.exe`.\

The scripts for making this possible inside the docker container are located in [WSL_Insert](./WSL_Insert/).



It is named after WSL because I wanted to port a WSL2-project, therefore making a Linux container more 'Windows-like' and therefore more WSL-like.



## Adaptions you'll need to undergo (e.g. in nodejs)



**Note: There wil be alot more stuff you might need to fix, but the following lists stuff I needed / noticed when porting RobloxStarter to Docker**



- When you need to parse JSON from a command's output feel free to do a `.toString().trim()` to make it working if its not working from ground up

- Keep in mind this command-piper will only export the output once its finished (if at all)

  - `.on (data)` wont work as expected and fires only one time (if at all) outputting the whole output log

  - to get the last entry feel free to use:\

    `data = data.split("\n"); data = data.length > 1 ? data[data.length - 2].trim() : data[0];`



## Todo



- Handle accumulation of zombie defuncts listed in `ps aux`

- Think about how to make docker supportive inside wsl itself

- Error passing?

- Smarter process handling, logging

- Infinite-Counter-Reset inside docker container processes-specifying?

- Volume mapping option
