Containerised SUMO.

SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility), an open-source traffic simulation software, is dockeried by the Dockerfile included in this repository. This image uses Ubuntu version 16.04 and contains version 0.31.0 of SUMO.

sumo, sumo-gui and TraCI are all accessible with this image.

See sumo-gui in action:

See TraCI in action:

1. Change your_username (line 8 of Dockerfile) to your username (i.e. the output of echo "$USER")
2. Build the image with docker build - < Dockerfile -t docker-sumo
3. Run the image with

docker run -it --rm\
    --env="DISPLAY" \
    --volume="/etc/group:/etc/group:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/sudoers.d:/etc/sudoers.d:ro" \
    --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
    --user=$USER \
    docker-sumo \
    bash

4. Execute sumo or sumo-gui as usual.

1. Prepare your own Dockerfile with your username (i.e. the output of echo "$USER"):

FROM bogaotory/sumo:0.30.0

RUN adduser your_username --disabled-password

2. Build the image with docker build - < Dockerfile -t docker-sumo
3. Run the image with

docker run -it --rm\
    --env="DISPLAY" \
    --volume="/etc/group:/etc/group:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/sudoers.d:/etc/sudoers.d:ro" \
    --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
    --user=$USER \
    docker-sumo \
    bash

4. Execute sumo or sumo-gui as usual.

proj and gdal are required for users of OpenStreetMap.

I referenced a couple of past attempts of dockerising SUMO:

• https://github.com/radiganm/dockerhub, which insists on compiling everything from source
• https://github.com/similitude/sumo-docker, based on Maven and emphasises on the inclusion of TraCI4J which is not necessarily useful for beginners of SUMO.

Neither gives a straightforward containerised SUMO solution.

The method for GUI access is borrowed from this post.
