Docker step by step installation guide

[Peterr-K]

Hi please add docker steb by step guide, for example I have these hints and question:

• looks like I need git clone RSSClone repository and only then run docker-compose command? how the update works then? I need update docker or the clonned files?
• list of the required packages at start of the guide (docker, docker-compose)
• where exactly is the file to set env variables? in the clonned repository folder or somewhere inside the docker folder?
• env file with all values will be great, the same way as we have bot and web example configs

thanks

Hi,

If you use Docker, you're expected to already understand the fundamentals of Docker. If you don't yet have a fundamental understanding of Docker, I suggest you go through https://docs.docker.com/get-started/ and optionally https://docs.docker.com/compose/ for Docker Compose.

To more directly answer your questions:

1. You need to recreate your container when either the new image is published, or when your local files are updated. This link details the process for file changes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41322541/rebuild-docker-container-on-file-changes
2. docker-compose is an alternative to docker. See https://docs.docker.com/compose/ for a better understanding of what docker-compose is.
3. Docker does not inherently use an env file that is injected into your container - you would have to use a custom solution if you want to go that route. Alternatively, you can set environment variables through the --env or e CLI argument for docker - see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/ for more information. If you choose to use docker-compose, the necessary env variables are already written in for you in docker-compose.yml - you can add more to your liking.
