I wanted to explore NativeScript but didn't want to install and configure Java, Android SDK, Ant, etc. Life is too short so I created a Docker container with everything needed to run it.
Here is the relevant blog post: http://oren.github.io/blog/nativescript.html
git clone git@github.com:oren/docker-nativescript.git
cd docker-nativescript
docker build -t nativescript .
alias tns='docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v $PWD:/src nativescript tns'
The alias command lets you use tns for running any command inside the nativescript container.
tns create hello
cd hello
tns platform add android
tns run android
That's it, your app should be on your phone!
