You must accept the Pebble Terms of Use and the SDK License Agreement to use the Pebble SDK.

With the Pebble Tool 4.0 and above it is possible to switch the SDK version on the fly. Based on this change this image will not download an SDK in the build process.

To build a pebble APP you must first download a SDK.

If you want to use the image as terminal simply run pebble sdk install <SDK_VERSION> before the first build.

If you want to build direct the build command must be extended like: app with (yes will automatically accept the license):

docker run --rm -it \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/project/:/pebble/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev \
    /bin/sh -c 'yes | pebble sdk install <SDK_VERSION> && pebble build'

If you want to keep the SDK mount a volume for /home/pebble/.pebble-sdk/SDKs. Than you load the SDK once and reuse it for the next container. Load the SDK:

docker run --rm -it \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/SDKs/:/home/pebble/.pebble-sdk/SDKs/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev \
    pebble sdk install <SDK_VERSION>

Build the APP:

docker run --rm -it \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/project/:/pebble/ \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/SDKs/:/home/pebble/.pebble-sdk/SDKs/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev \
    pebble build

If you have multiple SDK you must switch to the correct one before build:

docker run --rm -it \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/SDKs/:/home/pebble/.pebble-sdk/SDKs/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev \
    pebble sdk activate <SDK_VERSION>

For example if you created a directory pebble-dev in your home directory you start the container with:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/pebble-dev/:/pebble/ bboehmke/pebble-dev

This opens a shell where you can use the pebble command. The actual directory is already /pebble/ (or the host dir ~/pebble-dev/). If you close the session, the docker container is removed.

If you want to reuse the container you should start it with:

docker run --name=pebbleDev -it -v ~/pebble-dev/:/pebble/ bboehmke/pebble-dev

After you close the shell and the container exit, you can use the restart the container with:

docker start -it -a pebbleDev

If you have created a project in ~/pebble-dev/project you can build the app with:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/pebble-dev/project/:/pebble/ bboehmke/pebble-dev pebble build

If the app should be installed after build you can achieve this with:

docker run --rm -it \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/project/:/pebble/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev \
    sh -c 'pebble build && pebble install --phone=192.168.2.124'

This works if the phone has the IP address '192.168.2.124'.

To use the emulator, you have to add -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix. Start the container with:

docker run -it --rm \
    -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/:/pebble/ \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev

If the XServer on the host system only allow valid user (e.g. Arch Linux), you have to add -v ~/.Xauthority:/home/pebble/.Xauthority --net=host:

docker run -it --rm \
    --net=host \
    -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -v ~/pebble-dev/:/pebble/ \
    -v ~/.Xauthority:/home/pebble/.Xauthority \
    bboehmke/pebble-dev
