If you happen to need LS Diamond on non-RHEL system, this image may be your chance. It is based on an article: https://section5.ch/index.php/2017/01/20/669/ with some updates:

• license.dat is copied to the container upon build,
• added 32b requirements for running ModelSim,
• added simple script for running container with current working directory mounted.

WARNING: This simple script assumes your uid is the same as diamond user created in the base image (see docker/Dockerfile), i.e. 1000. This is often the case if you are the only one user of the PC (or the first normal user created). If you're operating multi-user environment you'll need to adjust Dockerfile to your needs otherwise every time you run dockerized Diamond you'll experience permission problems.

These instructions are for version 3.12 (diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm). If you have other version, it still may work, just adjust paths in docker/env-setup.sh.

1. Download RPM from LS site and copy it to the repo root.

2. Obtain your license file. It will probably be linked to your MAC. Choose wisely not to use USB network card or some not-always available device. Alternatively, you can choose arbitrary valid MAC, as we can set one for Docker container.

3. Set LS_DIAMOND_ETHADDR to MAC address of your choice. It may be handy to put it in your ~/.bashrc as it will be necessary every time container is started.

4. Enter docker directory and build base image:

docker build -t diamond:base .

5. Enter repo root and run start_setup_shell. This will start container with current directory mounted at /mnt.

6. In the opened shell install Diamond:

rpm -i /mnt/diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm

7. Test installation:

su -l diamond
diamond

8. Commit changes to the container. Note container ID that is in your prompt (diamond@<CONTAINER_ID>), then exit su and container shell. Commit changes with:

docker commit -m "Installed LS Diamond" <CONTAINER_ID> diamond:v3.12

To run container you can use run_diamond script. This will (at first run) create ~/.lsdiamond directory and mount it as container's diamond user home. Current directory will be mounted as ~/workspace. This script can be executed in any location, so it may be handy to put it in your PATH.
