I got it working after restarting kstars. It looks like a restart is required for a change to the internal/external indi setting to take effect.

I can't get the internal indi server to work. When I check the box in the setting to enable it I am unable to choose any drivers.

Nice work! My tiny
contribution is a patch to homebrew-cask so you can easily install it with
brew cask install kstars
brew cask install sbig-universal-driver
I'm still working through the best way to deal with keeping versions up to date. Currently I'm using dockerhub to automatically build the x86 containers. The "latest" tag is built with the "master" branch of the dockerfiles which use version=* while the 1.3.1 tag is built with the 1.3.1 branch which has version=1.3.1. dockerhub will rebuild the images anytime a change is committed to the inid-docker repo
Unfortunately dockerhub doesn't yet have automated builds for RPI images so I have to build/push them manually. I'm investigating CI server options for automating it.
I'll take a look at containers for kstars, but it might be more confusing for users due to file system isolation.

Hi Gerard,
I would suggest switching to the explicit port mappings with -p 7624:7624 instead of using the host network. Whitelisting ports reduces the "surface area" of your container and has some other benefits if you put more things into containers. Also, if you run each driver in its own container (something I'm prototyping now) you'll get port conflicts on the host network.
I'll take another stab at the readme. The first pass is kind of an information dump rather than a flowing doc.

I've just finished building a working set of docker containers for indiserver. This includes both x86 and Raspbian images. I've tested it on both platforms without any problems.
For those of you who haven't used Docker before, it's a really nice way to encapsulate and deploy a service along with all of its dependencies. For example, to run the indiserver with all the simulators with a stock RPI you just need to run the following command (no downloading or installing needed other than installing docker-engine)
docker run --rm -ti seanhoughton/indiserver:1.3.1
I'm finally back in action on macos and I've got the official mainline kstars building - but the resources aren't copied into the data folder as part of the build so they don't get copied to the Application Support folder on application start. Is this expected to run without a packaging or install build?
Also, are you guys keeping a forked git repo or branch with all of the OSX work you've done? It's getting difficult to keep track of the progress in this gigantic thread

Really great progress with all of the OSX support. My laptop died last month and by the time UPS drops of my shiny new MBP (which can actually build Qt in less than a century) I won't have anything left to help with!
In the meantime I've added an OSX TravisCI configuration so any changes to the indi codebase are now verified to compile on OSX.
