Docker registry?

[pierreozoux]

Hi!

FIrst of all, great job guys!

Then, a quick question, do you plan to publish your docker file to the registry as an automated build? I did publish one in the mean time: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/indiehosters/rocket.chat/

It would be great if you could publish it "officaily".

If you need, I run it with this folder: https://github.com/indiehosters/Rocket.Chat

Cheers!

I'd be glad to publish it officaily.

@Sing-Li can you help?

[Sing-Li]

@pierreozoux @engelgabriel Sure. Actually, I've been working on several Docker images for Rocket.Chat deployment to popular cloud services such as AWS, Bluemix, and Google Compute.
We can definitely merge Pierre's work in.

@engelgabriel - please create a DockerImages repos.

@pierreozoux , is it okay with you if your work is merged into an MIT licensed project (ala Rocket.Chat)?

[pierreozoux]

Totally fine :) I still don't have strong opinions about licensing.

[Sing-Li]

Cool. @pierreozoux How do you like Docker Compose beta so far?

I've been trying to convince them to include support for YML + [image-1, image-2, ... image-n] on their new hub 'product' - docker/hub-beta-feedback#57 :)

[pierreozoux]

I find it cool :)

I don't who will win among:

• procfile
• unit/fleet file
• panamax
• app container pod

I think docker-comnpose is simple and nice to use but fall short on some issue (how to describe multiprocess container, how to apply 'layers' at execution time) and app container pod looks like to solve it.

Anyway, it is a really exciting time!

Created https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/rocketchat/

What should I do next?

[Sing-Li]

Thanks!

We also need a github repos for our reference "Dockerfiles".

Perhaps:

https://github.com/RocketChat/DockerFiles

Then, under there, we will have directories like:

/GCP /Bluemix /AWS /Heroku /Galaxy /GenericLinux /CoreOS

... and so on ... @pierreozoux - pls let me know if this organization of directories make sense to you

... and each directory will have a Dockerfile

Then, we can link each of those Dockerfile to an "automated build" , where the docker hub will pull from github repos and build our set of reference images for us (everytime we change any dockerfile).

[engelgabriel]

Done

https://github.com/RocketChat/DockerFiles

[Sing-Li]

Cool. I'll add the first set of 'rough-in' top level directories now. I think we can take it from here. Thanks, @engelgabriel .

[pierreozoux]

I just have experience with CoreOS, and wouldn't know what to say for the rest.

I hope there is a way to have just one Dockerfile. But I just know the names from other systems.

I can provide you a unit file for that, at least the one I'm using. I don't have fleetctl file yet. I think this is amazing what you are trying to do! Really lookign forward to the outcome! No/not a lot of app developper take the problem of hosting these apps seriously. So thanks to tackle this!

[Sing-Li]

@pierreozoux Thanks!

Can you please commit/submit a PR for your current work into the GenericLinux directory?

I think we can evolve it.

One thing that I'll do though, as much as I respect what Arunoda and the MeteorHack gang is doing, is to replace the all-purpose base with a specialized 'slim' image that I've been tuning (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/singli/meteor/).

CoreOS! Very very cool. etcd and rkt are wonders of modern software engineering :)

[pierreozoux]

@engelgabriel can you create an automated build from https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/rocketchat/rocketchat pointing to this repo. (as there is already a dockerfile, this should work just fine!)

[Sing-Li]

systemd support (thanks @pierreozoux ) is vital in getting Rocket.Chat into Linux distros.

I think we may want to rename the "Dockerfiles" registry to "Deployments and Linux packages".

[pierreozoux]

Yes, it would make more sense! And maybe we'll see a need for other dockerfiles in the future, we'll see at this moment!

[engelgabriel]

https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/rocketchat/rocket.chat/ created... is that ok? With the . on the name?

@pierreozoux If it is not, please, reopen the issue and let me know.

[pierreozoux]

Looks amazing!
