I’ve been asked to make a docker-compose file for a discourse project I’m working on to make it as simple as possible for developers and sysadmins we’re working with to fire up a discourse instance to test against. I’ve read through Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be b…

The image from bootstrap is fine, in fact it is running here on meta, PG is running on AWS RDS, Redis in a dedicated container.

I know the image is fine Sam. We’re using it on a staging server. I clearly understand that what is lacking here currently is my knowledge on how to run the scripts required to setup the shared folders within docker-compose.

[afbeelding] sam: In production … why would you even think about deploying with compose? In general production container orchestration happens in either scripts or kubernates or some other dedicated production tool. It’s only for testing instances

I am still not following at all, maybe ask your dev manager to post here explaining why our officially supported docker dev setup is a problem.

I asked if Beginners Guide to Install Discourse for Development using Docker would suffice. The answer was yes.

I am not associated with the OP here, but I can tell you why I want a docker compose file rather than a shell script: Shell scripts tend to not work on Windows. The shell script requires git, my docker hosts only have a bare OS and docker installed. They are, by design, incredibly lean and bare. D…

I want to be able to do all docker building on a separate build server to where I run in production. Why use Docker if it is a bunch of scripts that are required on the host? On my production host I want Docker installed in swarm mode and the ability to Docker login to my registry to pull what is n…
