Docker Container

[pbnj]

I've been looking for a decent command-line web crawler for some time and came across this project. It seems very promising.

I have been working on getting this project working in a docker container.

Would you be interested in my contributing the dockerfile back to this project for anyone else who might be interested in the same?

Sure! I haven't used Docker before but it looks like a great resource to have.

Yeah, Docker is a great resource to have. It helps with development and deployment of applications.

Development

I have long replaced my local development environments with Docker containers, which eliminates the need for me to muck around locally and struggle with different versions of libraries/runtimes/binaries ...etc.

Need to do Python 3.6 development? docker run --rm -it -v /local/repo:/path/inside/container python bash Need to do Ruby development? docker run --rm -it -v /local/repo:/path/inside/container ruby bash And so on...

Deployment

On your local machine:

• Build the image: docker build -t <IMAGE_NAME> /path/to/Dockerfile
• Push the image to the registry of choice: docker push <IMAGE_NAME> On the server:
• Pull down the image and run it as a container: docker run [OPTIONS] <IMAGE_NAME>

Call me a fanboy, I haven't experienced such portability, consistent cross-platform development (e.g. OSX, Linux, Windows), and ease of deployment before using Docker.
