9 years ago Very cool!
Typically I ask folks to maintain this kind of thing in their own repo vs merging it here, because it's difficult to maintain and support them all here in addition to the core codebase.
But I hope that won't discourage you; this is fantastic and you should post about it to the mailing list to let the community know.
Having an official docker image available for a project really aids users in their evaluation journey. I didn't find any working images out there for ThinkUp and also no talk on mailing lists or GitHub issues about providing docker images, hence my personal attempt to get this to work. If you're not interested, I'll happy crawl back under my rock. It was still a fun challenge. :)
The steps required to get the containers up and running can be found in the
Dockerfile.It is purposely self-contained in only two files at this point. If desired, the setup can (and should) be expanded to include, among other things, a full configuration file for the ssmtp tool with an improved relay host setup, even less manual labor for the initial setup (potentially by providing an out-of-the-box account that doesn't require a manual in-browser setup), and automatically run database migrations.
But it's a start. What do you think? I'll happily work on it some more if there's interest. I could also work on a version that's deployable via Tutum for example.
