Developing for Docker
Create Docker devices from Docker images and use them to build, run, and debug applications. A Docker container operates like a virtual machine but uses less system resources at the cost of being less flexible.
While Linux, macOS, and Windows hosts are supported in principle, Linux is the recommended platform.
To build, run, and debug applications on Docker devices, install and configure docker-cli on the development host. Qt Creator automatically detects build and run kit items, such as debuggers and Qt versions, in the Docker container and creates kits for the devices.
You are advised to use CMake to build applications in the Docker container.
Note: Enable the Docker plugin to use it.
To pull images from Docker hub or other registries, use the docker pull command.
