Docker hub image

[devdems]

How is docker image on hub being built and where https://hub.docker.com/r/openenergymonitor/emoncms ?

See https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms#docker-standalone-container

There are images here :
https://hub.docker.com/r/alexjunk/emoncms

I'm asking for the official one.

[alexandrecuer]

There is no automated build for the "official" one

[devdems]

Can we create one with github actions so we can keep the current official one up to date?

[alexandrecuer]

Well, if you read the doc, the "official" image is experimental, not frequently updated. Currently, it is only for amd64 architecture, it is a not a full emoncms installation, it uses supervisord which is not the best option to dockerise a multi services application like emoncms.

That's why there is a suggested alternative using alpine linux and the s6 process supervision suite through s6 overlay which is more suitable to the emoncms architecture

[devdems]

Even so. This official docker was built with some dockerfile. Let's put this dockerfile here, add github actions so it's regulary pushed to the hub even if it's not 100% to all docker standards. We can then fix it step by step to get it perfect.

The current image that is there is working just fine btw.

Of course you can :-) Pull requests are welcome

I would be glad to help, but i think it would be best to start with the dockefile that was used to create the current image that is on the hub. That is why i was asking for it in the fust post.

@glynhudson : any ideas why the image on the hub was not produced with the dockerfile on the repo https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms-docker ?

Pretty sure the image on docker hub is the latest, latest commit's on the repo align with the date of latest on docker hub (9 months ago)
