Problem with update while using Docker

[ssbaksa]

Hi!

I am using Docker to build my Webvirt (it was sugestin from you or from catborise). Now I have a problem with update as it is explained at Wiki site.

root@backup:~# docker exec -it f1ed69fe0921 /bin/bash root@f1ed69fe0921:/srv/webvirtcloud# d /srv/webvirtcloud bash: d: command not found root@f1ed69fe0921:/srv/webvirtcloud# source venv/bin/activate (venv) root@f1ed69fe0921:/srv/webvirtcloud# git pull fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git (venv) root@f1ed69fe0921:/srv/webvirtcloud#

It looks to me that when you ignore .git directory from adding it git couldn't work any more. Line from .dockerignore **/.git

Best regards,

Saša-Stjepan Bakša

hi @ssbaksa i build new one but without your specified problem. git pull works as expected. other than that it is ideal use of containers with disposable style.

• git pull
• build new image
• run with new image

but it is sometimes unnecessary burden. i also use git pull in existing container.

hi @catborise

Well, I get your point running with new image but adding each time all servers which I use is nuisance (more than 14 now). Maybe extracting database and pushing it to new image will help?

But, you say that you are pulling it in container. I have pasted lines which show failure using that method. There is no .git directory inside container. I am pasting content of my /srv/webvirtcloud directory from container. As you can see, no .git and I get error message: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

did you create a new build to see? i did create a new build in this morning and there is a .git folder and git pull works. may be your "cloned git directory" does not have .git folder.

ideal one is seperate db data and copy to a directory and mount it on local disk . may be we should write a wiki entry.

Maybe extracting database and pushing it to new image will help? yes. you can reach and copy it with scp.

[ssbaksa]

No, I didn't build it from new one. Build was done from freshly cloned repo directory. Git is definitely there.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323 Oct 13 17:15 .dockerignore drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Oct 13 17:15 .git/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 13 17:15 .github/

A mounted directory or Volume fro DB? Nice idea. I would like to see that.

Will try with copying to new image first.

[ssbaksa]

Now I feel stupid.

Done all from start. new repo clone, new build, start it and again, there is no .git directory in image. You can't update it, only build it from scratch.

If that's the way to do it, then it will be done that way. As you said, it is Docker way.

[catborise]

@ssbaksa if you want, you can remove ".git" line from ".dockerignore" then build it. it will put ".git" directory to the container. i do not know why my container contains it(normally it must not)

i am using podman(docker's rhel alternative), may be it ignores .dockerignore file.
