Dockerize project #120

Closed coskundeniz89 closed 7 months ago

coskundeniz89 commented 1 year ago

I need to use your project so could you dockerize your project?

jjdejong commented 1 year ago

We only develop things as we need them ourselves, and contribute the developement freely to this repository - why wouldn't you contribute such a dockerization? Others may find it very useful!

This project is not optimal for containerizing, because updates would be complex to implement by the user. Each code base update could be applied by installing a new docker image, but database table updates would need to be applied manually on top of installing a new docker image. It is way simpler to do a git pull and then a php artisan migrate to apply an update.

The php artisan migrate script could be run automatically when installing a new docker image, but then it's hard to check for eventual script errors and even harder to fix them.

I gave a first try for building a docker image. Here are instructions I'm not an expert of docker, thus this can be probably improved.
