Floating license server

This is just a brief section concerning the Floating License Server. Other sections of this document apply to Rebelle only.

To set a proxy, create a settings.ini file anywhere with the following content:

[proxy]
type=http
hostname=myproxy.com
port=1234
username=itsme
password=blahblah

and then mount it to /etc/xdg/Escape Motions/Escape Motions Floating License Server.conf like this:

docker run --rm -it -p 8264:8264 \
  -v "`pwd`/settings.ini:/etc/xdg/Escape Motions/Escape Motions Floating License Server.conf" \
  -v "`pwd`/docker_data:/root/.local" \
  -v "`pwd`/../docker/runner_xvfb_base/xvfb-run.sh:/opt/project/xvfb-run.sh" \
  escapemotions/floatlicserver:latest \
  /bin/bash -c 'echo "starting"; ./xvfb-run.sh ./Escape_Motions_Floating_License_Server --no-gui'
