I’ve tried to setup my Discourse development environment the Docker way, but I’ve realized that boot_env script tries to pull a non existent discourse/discourse_dev:latest docker image. Instead, a discourse/dev:latest image exists in Docker Hub, but it is outdated (version 1.0.13). So I’ve tried to…

[صورة] ibnesayeed: I hope @Falco will be able to resolve it sooner than later. Sorry about that, we found a nasty bug with our memory allocation with lastest docker image and I’ll fix that before getting the dev image out. I started looking at it tough, and it’s mostly done, we just need to …

[صورة] ibnesayeed: For last few days I was looking into the Discourse’s code base and trying to understand it’s working so that I can make my hands dirty with some development and contribution. However, not being able to setup the development environment, I can’t do much. While it’s great tha…

Meanwhile, I have setup a fullly functional and standard Docker development environment, dockerizing the set of instructions in Discourse Advanced Developer Install Guide . Check it out here: https://github.com/adab1ts/discourse/commit/f2ff9aecf31794d032349646a3dfc8bd94387363 Changes in development…

FROM buildpack-deps:xenial not using our base image loses out tons of the advantages of using docker in dev. We are super careful to include all the fiddly dependencies in our docker image including image magick, nginx and plenty of other bits and pieces. compose is fine if that is your thing bu…

[صورة] ibnesayeed: I too am interested in an official well maintained docker image for development where I can simply mount my working directory and map a port then land into the bash prompt of the container. This sort of works, but there are some issues that need careful consideration. Espec…

[صورة] sam: This sort of works, but there are some issues that need careful consideration. Especially the fact the UIDs inside docker do not necessarily the UIDs outside of docker, it is a delicate game that you need to play. I wrote that before I realized that there is a docker image for dev…

It is just a temporary solution to face the issues reported in my first comment. I will adopt the official docker workflow as soon as it is fixed. In case you weren’t aware of, notice that bin folder is not being tracked by git ( discourse/.gitignore at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub ) so any cha…

I spent some time cleaning stuff up today and have this all working. Follow the instructions here and you should be good: bin/docker/README.md main # Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, why not develop there? If you have Docker installed, you should be ab…

[صورة] sam: Let me know how you go. It looks like the said image is still not in the DockerHub. Ideally it should be configured as an auto-build there. $ ./bin/docker/rails s Error response from daemon: No such container: discourse_dev

Worked smoothly like some fresh butter. @sam you are awesome!

On a side note, I read somewhere that it is good idea to run sidekiq and mailcatcher even in the dev mode. Should it be added to the Docker workflow as well?
