Feature Idea: Allow to pass a docker variable to use a directory to build the image #358

Open jespino opened 3 years ago

jespino commented 3 years ago

Summary: Currently the docker file is generated from cloning the focalboard repo, having the posibility of use a path in your filesystem to build it would be a great addition. (This idea comes from the #168 PR)

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Some users can want to create the docker file base on its own local source code.

This is most likely not going to be possible or at least very hacky, as docker doesn't allow conditional usage of the COPY statement.

I think the best solution is to use multistage builds and to target a specific stage depending on what the source should be.
