Last updated on Jan 06, 2022 You can install Incredibuild on a machine with Docker containers. Incredibuild must be installed on the host machine (not inside a container), and can then be used by any container on that machine. This is generally designed for Initiator machines. Incredibuild respects the restrictions of the Docker container and does not use resources such as CPU cores from the host machine that are not assigned to the container. To ensure that these boundaries are respected, use the switch --max-local-cores when running builds using ib_console in Docker containers. To allow Incredibuild to use all resources on the host machine of a Docker container, use the switch --no-cgroups and do not use the --max-local-cores switch.

With Incredibuild, you would run it like this:
