Package inotify-tools
doesn't need to be explicitly installed in advance. Script autoload.sh can automatically install and run it if a container is started with environment variable AUTORELOAD_PROGRAMS
set, as you can see from the first example.
Thus, the auto-reload feature works both for latest images (e.g., latest
) and versioned images (e.g., 4.8.11-php8.0
).
The latest images are built daily using latest source code from the master branch of Swoole. It's mostly for testing and local development purposes; we won't expect people using them on production. Thus package inotify-tools
is installed in latest images (so that people don't need to install it when starting new containers). We can remove the package from latest images if there is a good reason for that.
Thanks for the reply!
My main issue here is the confusion. I mean, at a first glance, I couldn't tell if inotify-tools
are installed in v5.0.0 and if so, I could proceed with removing it from my Dockerfile.
I agree that it's not that clear at first glance, but I also see the benefits of having it preinstalled (in the latest images).
To avoid confusion, I updated comments in some files. Hope it helps.
Thank you!
BTW, would it be possible to release new 5.0.x releases with the latest PHP? Also, have you thought about using Git tags? It would make comparison easier between versions.
latest
tag seems to include inotify-tools: https://github.com/swoole/docker-swoole/blob/982e30fd2475a83e36a73a181d3e10a6118c1aa5/dockerfiles/latest/php8.1/cli/Dockerfile#L18but v5.0.0 doesn't: https://github.com/swoole/docker-swoole/blob/master/dockerfiles/5.0.0/php8.1/cli/Dockerfile
BTW aren't inotify-tools redundant in production? Just thinking out loud here :)
