Adding an editor

[hughbris]

I appreciate you are probably trying to keep this image very minimal. A couple of times, I've found it helpful (if not necessary) to install nano to hack at files outside of the suggested shared volumes. The ones I can think of are in the Grav root - robots.txt and the multisite setup.php file. (Actually a multisite image might be a good variant Dockerfile to add.)

Anyway, just thought you might consider adding vim or nano or whatever to the image :)

Hey

Will keep this open to have a think on how I want to do this, concept is that a container should be ephemeral enough to recreate without editing, usually mounted in for example, so when you update the container configuration is kept.

I'm happy if you want to close this now. It seems when I submitted this, I wasn't familiar with derivative Dockerfiles. It's easy enough to do:

FROM dsavell/grav
RUN \
  install_packages nano

And knowing this, I more often use it to create custom ephemeral containers without needing to edit container files.

Great stuff! thanks

You've done this now though? 3e8a3ca6

Hey @hughbris - Yup, decided its been requested a few times, the people have spoken to add nano, so latest images have nano inside the image :)

Giving people what they want! ;) No problems. My comment was also motivated by wanting to link up issues, PRs, commits etc as much as possible.
