Imaging Basics
Remove existing images:
docker images -q --filter "dangling=true" | xargs docker rmi
docker rmi greenpau/sfc
Create an image:
docker build --no-cache --rm=true --force-rm=true -t greenpau/sfc - < Dockerfile
Start a container with the image:
docker run --rm -i -t --name=sfc --privileged --cap-add all --net=host -v /tmp:/tmp greenpau/sfc /bin/bash

# lspci | grep Solar
