First off, thank you so much for your work!

I would like to self-host an instance of MyFlightbook. I have started writing a Dockerfile, but I have not seen any build instructions. Can you please provide those to me?

I am happy to open a pull request with the CI/CD code to have the resultant image created in this repository once I get everything working :)

I'm afraid I know nothing about Dockerfile, but instructions for building and setting up your own instance are in the readme Let me know if you have any questions about following these instructions. Do be aware that because the site uses google analytics, google maps, AWS, and so forth, you will need to set up your own IDs and accounts for these services, as well as your own email provider. If you aren't using things like Leon/CloudAhoy, then you don't need to set up IDs/accounts, but obviously that functionality won't then work.

No worries!

From what I can tell, it needs some local file storage, and a mariadb/mysql database. What does it need AWS access for?

As far as the build, I was trying the following commands:

dotnet restore

and

dotnet publish -c Release -o out

When I run the second command, I get this error block:

Do you have a bash script or something similar that you use to build it?

I use AWS to store full-sized images and videos (I store the thumbnails on the local file system for fast access and fast serving) and for processing of videos using Elastic transcoder. You can turn off AWS for images by setting UseAWSS3 to "no" in the localconfig table of the database, but videos will not work.

To build: load the solution in Visual Studio and use the build command. The error message above seems to summarize the issue, but I don't know enough about the details of solutions to know how to fix it. I run Build->Publish in Visual Studio when I need to update the website.

And yes, you need local file storage and you need an email server.
