⁠Thank you to the following.

⁠Usage

docker run -dit --name cray1 \
           -p 2222:22 \
           rattydave/cray1:latest

⁠Auto Update

To automatically update I recomend using watchtower.

docker run -d \
    --name watchtower \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    containrrr/watchtower

⁠Access

⁠Connection Method 1

To get the IP address of the running container.

docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' cray1

To access the terminal screens either connect via SSH to port 2222 of the running container.

• Username : root
• Password : root

then when you have the prompt

tmux attach

⁠Connection Method 2

From the host machine:

docker exec -it cray1 tmux attach

⁠Usage

Once in you are presented with tmux running 4 windows.

• 0:cray_xmp_sim*
• 20003:telnet
• 20004:telnet
• 20006:telnet

To ease in the debugging each window has the identification the same as the connection port.

To switch between screens press CTRL-b then n. More information on tmux at https://tmuxcheatsheet.com/⁠

Switch to the window 20003:telent

The status line should say

IOP-0 KERNEL, VERSION 4.2.2, Sn302/25, * Leading Edge *

Type START @DK0:COS_117 @DK0:INSTALL then press ENTER

you should see

MFINIT: COMPLETE
CPU <-> MIOP CHANNEL INIT
CPU <-> MIOP LINKAGE COMPLETE
START COMPLETE 
Concentrator ordinal 3  initialized
Concentrator ordinal 3  processed LOGON from ID FE

Next type STATION This will start a new terminal on 20000 and switch to it automatically.

The top bar should say CRAY STATION. VERSION 4.2.2, IOS.

On this terminal type LOGON you should see COS 1.17 02/28/89

To get a list of commands type HELP and you can change frames by using + or -.
