## Usage
You don't need to build the image yourself since it is available as a [container package](https://github.com/lobis/docker-root-geant4-garfield/pkgs/container/root-geant4-garfield).
To use the latest version:
```
docker run -it ghcr.io/lobis/root-geant4-garfield:latest
```
There are other tags available [here](https://github.com/lobis/docker-root-geant4-garfield/pkgs/container/root-geant4-garfield/versions), which provide different combinations of C++ Standard / ROOT / Geant4 / Garfield versions. For example, the tag built with C++17, ROOT v6-25-01, Geant4 v11.0.0 and Garfield 4.0 is available as:
```
docker pull ghcr.io/lobis/root-geant4-garfield:cxx17_ROOT-v6-25-01_Geant4-v11.0.0_Garfield-4.0
```
## Environment
ROOT, Geant4 and Garfield expects the user to load the required environment variables via the corresponding initialization scripts (such as `source $ROOTSYS/bin/thisroot.sh`). These lines are usually added to the `.bashrc` file.
In this image to load initialization scripts for ROOT, Geant4 and Garfield it is enough to input `source docker-entrypoint.sh`, which will load a script in `/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh`. This is also appended to the `.bashrc` so that it loads automatically.
However when you are running a non interactive shell you may get an error. This is usually solved by doing `source docker-entrypoint.sh` manually.
## Build
If you want to build the image you need to pass the different versions as arguments:
```
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17
ROOT_VERSION=v6-25-01
GEANT4_VERSION=v11.0.0
GARFIELD_VERSION=4.0
docker build --build-arg CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=$CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD --build-arg ROOT_VERSION=$ROOT_VERSION --build-arg GEANT4_VERSION=$GEANT4_VERSION -t lobis/root-geant4-garfieldpp:cpp${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD}_ROOT-${ROOT_VERSION}_Geant4-${GEANT4_VERSION}_Garfield-${GARFIELD_VERSION} .
```
