FYI I just posted a blog post about my Docker adventures: http://samsaffron.com/archive/2013/11/07/discourse-in-a-docker-container

Possibly, we have been running it in production and on multiple sites now for over a month. I only enjoy supporting docker stuff, otherwise there are just too many variables.

A few notable things missing before that can happen Sam’s guide on how to upgrade non-Docker instances to Docker here on meta Blog post on blog.discourse.org blessing Docker as our preferred setup method, explaining why, answering top 5 FAQs about it, and pointing to a newly edited install doc on github that reflects this

What’s the current recommended way to use Docker for Discourse? Readme from GitHub - discourse/discourse_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub (and using git clone) This is how you would work through it section from Sam’s blog entry http://samsaffron.com/archive/2013/11/07/discourse-in-a-docker-container docker pull samsaffron/discourse

Just as a note, I’ve tried Docker #1 (i.e. Sam’s GitHub readme file) on top of a fresh $5 DigitalOcean VPS (the smallest one). Watching htop: ~80% of the time my CPU is 100% busy with sidekiq, memory usage 450MB out of 490MB. Is this because of Docker or just because of the nature of the environment Discourse is built on? (i.e. ruby, so there is just some minimal requirement that should be always met no matter whether any kind of virtualization is used or not).

That would be a regression we had this week, bootstrap again with latest The instructions on guthub are the most up to date I would avoid any vps with less than a gb of ram How was the install process?

[תמונה] sam: That would be a regression we had this week, bootstrap again with latest Sorry, I’m confused - what do you mean? [תמונה] sam: How was the install process? It was easy enough and with no errors. Probably more questions might come later when I try to use it - thanks.

[תמונה] meglio: Sorry, I’m confused - what do you mean? I believe that has to do with this regression: https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidekiq-cpu-load-since-latest-release/9515/22

So if I understand correctly I just have to update my Discourse. But how would I do it with a Docker installation from cli? Please advice. After first bootstrap & run, I couldn’t access via ssh, so I’ve generated an ssh key in the host machine under root and added it to containers/app.yml: ssh_key: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1… I’ve tried ./launcher stop, bootstrap, start and when I ./launcher ssh app, it still asks for a password: root@0.0.0.0’s password: So I cannot SSH - please advice.

You must destroy the old container to upgrade, see the upgrading discourse instructions in the readme

Hi. I installed docker discourse on my ubuntu 12.04 and I want access my container via ssh. I did everything what is written here: GitHub - discourse/discourse_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub and if I bootstrap my app I have this error: "echo ssh-rsa fsfdsfdsfd ....... root's key >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string" What should I do? I tried quote my ssh key in containers/app.yml and still error. Thank you.
