I have a few other Docker containers and I run steps like this: # Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app COPY html /usr/share/nginx/html/ COPY dim.local.crt /etc/nginx/ssl/ COPY dim.local.key /etc/nginx/ssl/ COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/ COPY default.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ # Install any needed packages specified in requirements.txt #RUN pip install -r requirements.txt # need to restart nginx after COPY commands? RUN RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y nano && \ rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists/* I need to do some similar steps to my Discourse container, but where is the Dockerfile? I read that maybe I could add these to containers/app.yml at the end, but I’m not confident. Can anyone explain?

Can you explain exactly what you need? There is no need to mess with docker file to add a custom certificate, we have a guide for that at Allow SSL / HTTPS for your Discourse Docker setup

I don’t want to do the exact same thing. I just have shell scripts and a crontab the I want to copy in to the container so I can automate some tasks.

The last 5 lines of the app.yml contain an example of running custom commands, for example adding - exec: curl example.com/script.sh | bash Will download an execute that script.

Yup, I see that, but each time I rebuild I get copy errors: ## Any custom commands to run after building run: - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands" ## If you want to set the 'From' email address for your first registration, uncomment and change: ## After getting the first signup email, re-comment the line. It only needs to run once. #- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='info@unconfigured.discourse.org'" - exec: cp /shared/rr/run_badges.sh /etc/cron.d/. - exec: cp /shared/rr/badges /etc/cron.d/. - exec: echo "End of custom commands"

I could indeed pull them from a url, that is a thought The files are indeed present on the host: # ls -al shared/rr/ badges run_badges.sh # Here is the error: FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cp /shared/rr/run_badges.sh /etc/cron.d/. failed with return # Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:112:in `spawn' exec failed with the params "cp /shared/rr/run_badges.sh /etc/cron.d/." e23ff12630c8058c4b36ee8673404dafbe6791ec61aa630f1224400eba4e75e0 ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

The /shared dir inside the container is mapped, by default, to /var/discourse/shared/standalone so you are missing a directory in there.

What mistake am I making @Falco command: - exec: cp /shared/standalone/sql/run_badges.sh /root Pups::ExecError: cp /shared/standalone/sql/run_badges.sh /root failed with return #

[image] Falco: exec: curl example.com/script.sh | bash actually, this solution works pretty nicely. Thanks for mentioning it.
