Dockerfile for Vim

Latest Vim from vim/vim.

$ docker run --rm -it thinca/vim

Workaround for terminal size problem

Sometimes terminal size is broken. (Maybe, Docker sets terminal size too late) Here is a workaround to this problem.

$ docker run --rm -it -e COLUMNS="$(tput cols)" -e LINES="$(tput lines)" thinca/vim

Base image

The following base images are available.

• Alpine Linux - alpine/ directory.
• Ubuntu - ubuntu/ directory.

Build Arguments

Note: Buildkit is required to build this image:

$ export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

VIM_VERSION

A Git commit reference in Vim repository. e.g. tag name v8.0.0000 or commit hash df980db6

default: master

$ docker build --build-arg 'VIM_VERSION=v8.0.0000' --tag 'vim:v8.0.0000' .

VIM_ENABLE_ALL

When this is not empty, all other VIM_ENABLE_XXX flags are enabled. You can overwrite by each variables.

default: empty

ex. Enables only Lua interface.

$ docker build --build-arg 'VIM_ENABLE_ALL=' --build-arg 'VIM_ENABLE_LUA=yes' --tag 'vim:lua' .

ex. Enables all but Python interface.

$ docker build --build-arg 'VIM_ENABLE_ALL=yes' --build-arg 'VIM_ENABLE_PYTHON=' --tag 'vim:all-without-python' .

NOTE: The older Vim can not build with some latest version of language interfaces. Because sometimes the language is updated with breaking changes, and Vim followed to them in newer version.
