Docker: Provide sample docker-compose.yml, especially on hub.docker.com

[diamondsw]

Right now only a partial compose file is provided, and it does not show how to use command-line options. I recommend a better example that matches the command-line examples, for instance:

version: "3"
services:
  microbin:
    image: danielszabo99/microbin:latest
    container_name: microbin
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: >
      --public-path 'https://myserver.net'
      --highlightsyntax
      --editable
    ports:
     - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
     - ./data:/app/pasta_data

You can use this one I made too.

services:
  paste:
    image: danielszabo99/microbin
    container_name: microbin
    restart: always
    environment:
     - MICROBIN_PRIVATE=true
     - MICROBIN_PUBLIC_PATH=https://website.com #remove this if running locally. cant use QR or copy links if not using.
     - MICROBIN_EDITABLE=true
     - MICROBIN_ENABLE_BURN_AFTER=true
     - MICROBIN_QR=true
     - MICROBIN_HIGHLIGHTSYNTAX=true
     - MICROBIN_TITLE=Microbin
     - MICROBIN_HIDE_FOOTER=true
    ports:
     - "8065:8080"
    volumes:
     - /docker/microbin:/my/microbin
     - /docker/microbin/data:/app/pasta_data #mounting database.json for persistent DB.

You can see more environment variables here.

@ItsNoted you provided the MICROBIN_QR variable twice, so I would remove the second declaration. And what is the /docker/microbin:/my/microbin volume for?

This is now available: https://github.com/szabodanika/microbin/blob/664c4495e0259fd9931f80493f821832c0446e1c/compose.yaml

That's not remotely a valid compose file. It doesn't have the correct name, doesn't include the version declaration, and passes all the environment variables into the container from the host... but never defines them.

[szabodanika]

compose.yaml is the recommended name for the docker compose file. The same docs page states that version declaration is optional. As for the environment variables, there is a .env file available that you defines these, you have to pass that to the container: docker compose --env-file .env up --detach
