Postman

The list of tools installed in container

  • Postman

Build docker image

Go to folder

cd ~/dockerized-tools/postman

Run command

./build.sh

Make Postman executable from command line

sudo ln -s ~/dockerized-tools/postman/postman /usr/local/bin/postman

Run Postman

postman

if you run postman from command line, it starts and occupies terminal session

Create Desktop file and add to Favorites

  1. Copy a file called postman.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications

    cp postman.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
  2. Edit content of the file and replace the 'path-to-dockerized-tools' with actual path to dockerized-tools.

    Note that you have to use full path and do not use ~ as short cut to user home directory

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Type=Application
    Terminal=false
    Icon[en_US]=path-to-dockerized-tools/postman/logo.png
    Name[en_US]=Postman
    Exec=path-to-dockerized-tools/postman/postman
    Name=Postman
    Icon=path-to-dockerized-tools/postman/logo.png
    
    

    Note that 'Exec' should point to your postman executable script, not the containing folder which is also named 'postman' usually. Save the file.

  3. Make the postman.desktop file executable by running

    chmod a+x ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
  4. Click on 'Show Applications' (the dot logo on the bottom left of the screen) and in the search bar enter 'postman'. It should appear.

  5. Right click on the Icon and choose 'Add to favorites'.
