migrating an existent Moodle to this docker container #20

Hi, thank you for sharing your work. I've seen this is a container that installs moodle at startup. I have an existing moodle installation (apache-PHP-MariaDB) and want to migrate to docker. I want to use your Nginx-PHP image with a MariaDB database. I can add a service in docker-compose.yml for MariaDB that uses my migrated DB and mount var/lib/mysql as a volume, but I don't know how to run my actual 4.1 installation in your image. sorry for borrowing, I'm a docker rookie. May you help me, please? Thanks Carlo

IMHO, migrating direct /var/lib/mysql files can be a little bit messy. Seems easier if you dump your current database and import in the new Dockerized one, or best if you export your moodle courses directly. Let me know which option do you prefer, and I will try to help you.
