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

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 ([e-mail])? They ought to be able to troubleshoot this for you.

[Maksims Abalenkovs]

I will do that. Thank you!

[David Willingham]

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):

[Maksims Abalenkovs]

Perfect! This will get me started. Thank you!
