Creating a custom Docker-based container of Matlab and additional toolboxes

18 views (last 30 days)
I'm on a mission to create a custom Docker-based Matlab container with additional toolboxes such as
  • Matlab Coder,
  • Parallel Computing Toolbox,
  • Statistics and Machine Learing Toolbox
I'm "going by the book" using the MathWorks example. The only changes I made to the original Dockerfile are adding the toolboxes:
# Run mpm to install MATLAB in the target location and delete the mpm installation afterwards
RUN wget -q https://www.mathworks.com/mpm/glnxa64/mpm && \
chmod +x mpm && \
./mpm install \
--release=${MATLAB_RELEASE} \
--destination=/opt/matlab \
--products MATLAB MATLAB_Coder Parallel_Computing_Toolbox Statistics_and_Machine_Learning_Toolbox && \
rm -f mpm /tmp/mathworks_root.log && \
ln -s /opt/matlab/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin/matlab
To build the container I issue the standard command:
docker build -t matlab:r2021b .
However, my build fails with the MPMDownloader Unzip Error:
docker build -t matlab:r2021b .

Any pointers on how to debug and solve this issue would be most welcome!

Hi @Maksims Abalenkovs, can you contact Technical Support (support@mathworks.com)? They ought to be able to troubleshoot this for you.

This may not meet your exact requirements of building a container with just those products, but the MATLAB Deep Learning Container on dockerhub has these toolboxes (plus a few more):
