Run Cargo via Docker for local development

Christoph Frick - ofnir.net

My setup to run cargo via Docker as the current user. Put that in your Makefile or as shell alias.

docker run --rm -ti \                            # run, remove afterwards, use terminal
        -w /src -v `pwd`:/src \                  # map cwd to /src and make it the WORKDIR
        --user `id -u`:`id -g` -e USER=`id -u` \ # map to current user
        -e CARGO_HOME=/src/.cargo_registry \     # change the CARGO_HOME into the src
        rust:1.38 \                              # image:version
        cargo

(Note: don't add the comments, the shell won't kike it)
