warning
The dialog is available only when the Docker bundled plugin is enabled on the Settings/Preferences | Plugins page as described in Managing plugins.
Docker run configurations enable you to integrate Docker into your development process. Settings depend on the type of the Docker run configuration relevant to your needs. Some settings are common, while others are specific in each case.
CLion provides Docker support using the Docker plugin. The plugin is bundled and enabled by default. For more information, see Docker plugin integration.
Common
When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Specify a name for the run/debug configuration to quickly identify it when editing or running the configuration, for example, from the Run popup Alt+Shift+F10. |
Allow parallel run | Select to allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel. By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, CLion suggests to stop the running instance and start another one. This is helpful when a run/debug configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances. |
Store as project file | Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project. By default, it is disabled, and CLion stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml. |
