Note

This is horribly hacky and I know that. If you know Docker feel free to improve the Dockerfile and make use of builder images and stuff. For now this should work ™️

Use at own risk.

Currently this only works on Linux which uses the X server. Theoretically this also works for MacOS [0] and Windows [1].

This was build for the C2X Labs of TKN at TU Berlin.

Noteworthy Findings

Sumo has been pinned to Version 1.8.0 because the master branch would not work.

The simtime.cc of omnetpp has to be patched.

The Omnetpp IDE uses a docker container as a build environment so for now we have to live with docker in docker and forwarding the host docker daemon inside the container.

Installation

First run the ./build_docker.sh script. After the image is build start it with ./start_docker.sh. Then run the ./install_omnetpp.sh once to install omnet++ and the ide.

Usage

Just start the docker container with ./start_docker.sh. For better experience start a tmux session inside the docker container.
