** Usage
There are two ways of working with containerized language servers:
- 2 containers provided by =lsp-docker=:
- [[#emacslsplsp-docker-langservers][emacslsp/lsp-docker-langservers]]
- [[#emacslsplsp-docker-full][emacslsp/lsp-docker-full]]
- [[#custom-language-server-containers][Custom language server containers]]

** emacslsp/lsp-docker-langservers
This container is used by =lsp-docker= to run =Language Servers= for =lsp-mode= over local sources.
=You must pull the container before lsp-docker can use it=
*** Configuration
- Clone the repo
#+begin_src bash
git clone https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-docker
#+end_src
- Pull the container
#+begin_src bash
docker pull emacslsp/lsp-docker-langservers
#+end_src
- Add repo to load path and register the docker clients in your =~/.emacs= file
#+begin_src elisp
;; Uncomment the next line if you are using this from source
;; (add-to-list 'load-path "")
(require 'lsp-docker)

(defvar lsp-docker-client-packages
'(lsp-css lsp-clients lsp-bash lsp-go lsp-pylsp lsp-html lsp-typescript
lsp-terraform lsp-clangd))

(setq lsp-docker-client-configs

(require 'lsp-docker)
(lsp-docker-init-clients
:path-mappings '(("path-to-projects-you-want-to-use" . "/projects"))
:client-packages lsp-docker-client-packages
:client-configs lsp-docker-client-configs)
#+end_src
*** How it works
=lsp-mode= starts the image passed as =:docker-image-id= and mounts =:path-mappings= in the container. Then when the process is started =lsp-mode= translates the local paths to =docker= path and vice versa using the =:path-mappings= specified when calling =lsp-docker-init-default-clients=. You may use =lsp-enabled-clients= and =lsp-disabled-clients= to control what language server will be used to run for a particular project(refer to =lsp-mode= FAQ on how to configure .dir-locals).

** emacslsp/lsp-docker-full
The container =emacslsp/lsp-docker-full= contains:
- The above language servers
- =Emacs28= compiled with native JSON support for better performance.

** Custom language server containers
You can use manually built language containers or images hosting language server(s), just follow a few simple rules (shown below).
The docker images may feature an optional tag, if omitted _latest_ will be assumed.

*** Building a container (or an image) manually:
You have 2 constraints:
- A language server must be launched in =stdio= mode (other types of communication are yet to be supported)
- A docker container (only =container= subtype, see the configuration below) must have your language server as an entrypoint (basically you have to be able to launch it with =docker start -i = as it is launched this way with =lsp-docker=)

When you have sucessfully built a language server, you have to register it with either a configuration file or a =.dir-locals= file.

*** Registering a language server using a persistent configuration file:
A configuration file is a yaml file that can be located at:
#+begin_src
/.lsp-docker.yml
/.lsp-docker.yaml
/.lsp-docker/.lsp-docker.yml
/.lsp-docker/.lsp-docker.yaml
/.lsp-docker/lsp-docker.yml
/.lsp-docker/lsp-docker.yaml
/.lsp-docker/config.yml
/.lsp-docker/config.yaml
#+end_src

It is structured in the following way:

#+begin_src yaml
# single server configuration
lsp:
server:
type: docker
# subtype:
# - "container": attach to an already running container
# - "image": when image does not exist, try to build it based on the dockerfile found in the project-scope
# (see Automatic image building). An image might feature an optional tag, i.e. ':'. If a
# tagless image is indicated 'latest' will be assumed.
subtype: container
# Image/container name to use for this language server.
name: image-container-name
# server id of a registered LSP server. You can find the list of registered servers evaluating:
#
# `(ht-keys lsp-clients)`
#
# source:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17066169/retrieve-keys-from-hash-table-sorted-by-the-values-efficiently
server: server-id-of-the-base-server
# an (optional) array of parameters (docker or podman) to launch the image with
# initially intended to host the '--userns' parameter
# NOTE: 'launch_parameters' are not used with 'container' subtype servers
# in this case embed all required parameters when creating the server instead
launch_parameters:
- "--userns=nomap"
# command to launch the language server in stdio mode
# NOTE: 'launch_command' is not used with 'container' subtype servers as a command is embedded in a
# container itself and serves as entrypoint
launch_command: "launch command with arguments"
mappings:
# NOTE: the paths must be within the project this server is being build for
- source: "/your/host/source/path"
destination: "/your/path/inside/the/container"

# multiple server configuration
lsp:
server:
- type: ...
subtype: ...
... # keys as in the classic single server case, e.g. type, subtype, etc...
- ... # other single server configuration(s)
mappings: # shared among all servers
- source:
destination:
... # other mappings
#+end_src

*** Registering a language server using a =.dir-locals= file:
Just refer to the source code and general conventions of using =.dir-locals=. The variable you need is =lsp-docker-persistent-default-config=, its content is merged with the =lsp= section from a configuration file (if present).

*** Automatic image building:
You can also build an image automatically (currently supported only for =image= subtype): just drop the corresponding =Dockerfile= into the =.lsp-docker= folder in the project root (=Dockerfile= may be named as =Dockerfile= or =Dockerfile.lsp=). Building process is triggered by the =lsp-docker-register= call (you will be prompted whether you want to build the image). Image building *takes place in the project root* (*not* in the =.lsp-docker= subfolder)! In case of an automatic build the image will be registered automatically (based on the values from the config or =.dir-locals= file).

You can also troubleshoot any issues with supplemental docker calls (checking whether the required image already exists, building a new image) using the supplemental logging functionality: there are 2 variables: first you have to set =lsp-docker-log-docker-supplemental-calls= to true-like value (by default it is =nil=) and then specify the log buffer in the =lsp-docker-log-docker-supplemental-calls-buffer-name= variable (by default it is set to =*lsp-docker-supplemental-calls*=)

** Docker over TRAMP (TBD)
Docker running the language servers and hosting the sources, Emacs running on the desktop machine and connecting to docker instance over TRAMP.
