I want to use a tool for testing persistent memory programs (). Due to dependencies, this tool needs to be setup in an old version of linux. So I have to use either a virtual machine or a docker container.
I currently have a docker container with ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying to setup the tool as mentioned in the repo's README.
"To permanantly allocate space for persistent memory in a Ubuntu system, first we need to add a kernel boot parameter.
Edit /etc/default/grub with sudo privilege. Change line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash""
However, a docker container does not have a grub file, so I'm not sure how I should do this.
I'm fairly new to docker. Is this something that is possible, or should I settle for a virtual machine?
