Photonic-Dockerfile

Dockerfile to build a docker Photonic image starting from a perldatalanguage container.

Use:

You may build a docker image with the command

$ docker build -t photonic https://github.com/wlmb/Photonic-Dockerfile.git

(replace photonic with whatever name you choose for your image). If you prefer not to download the image on which Photonic is based, wlmb/perldatalanguage, from dockerhub, you may build it with

$ docker build -t perldatalanguage https://github.com/wlmb/PDL-Dockerfile.git
$ docker build -t photonic perldatalanguage

Then, you may run the image with the following commands:

$ xhost +local:
$ docker run -p 22 -ti -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ photonic

Once in your container you are in a full Debian/testing environment. You can install further packages with apt, perl packages with cpanm, run an interactive pdl interpreter as follows

# pdl2
pdl> demo 3d
pdl> demo gnuplot
.
.
.

and run Photonic programs, either standalone or within the interpreter.

pdl> use Photonic::Geometry::FromB; #load some Photonic modules
pdl> use Photonic::LE::NR2::EpsTensor;
pdl> $b=zeroes(51,51,51)->rvals<13; #cubic lattice of spheres
pdl> $g=Photonic::Geometry::FromB->new(B=>$b); #initialize geometry object
pdl> $eps=Photonic::LE::NR2::EpsTensor->new(geometry=>$g, nh=>300); #initialize dielectric tensor
pdl> $epsA=1+0.0*i(); #dielectric function of air
pdl> $epsB=-10+.1*i(); #some metallic response
pdl> print $eps->evaluate($epsA, $epsB); #dielectric function of cubic lattice of metallic spheres
