Add docker-compose file?

[illegalnumbers]

Might want to add that in. My docker experience for the most part has been limited to using composition files to compose containers, it might be overkill for you if you don't have a whole lot of services but I noted that you had a dockerfile present already so if you have at least one other service or want to run automated tests under a container or a variety of other uses it could be helpful.

I had thought about a bit about this, but yeah, would be a bit overkill. The current images are made more with the intention to try the application than to really deploy it.

On the other hand, this is not something that I would be opposed to, having more or less tuned images would be great to have, just something that hasn't happened yet

I guess without delving deeper into the nuts and bolts of the services I couldn't say how much of a benefit it would give. I can look more into it though. Be nice to have an easy deploy system.

Just to document things, I have started working on a docker compose file on the appropriately named docker-compose branch. There are a couple of very ugly things, but it shouldn't be too difficult to finish

I've had a look at your docker-compose branch and I'll be honest, I've not too sure why it's been set up the way it has been. I've got a bit of experience with docker-compose so if you have the time to explain a little how the app architecture works (I'm really unfamiliar with django and python webapps) I could try and help here.

[rolandgeider]

I'm afraid I can't tell you anymore why it was set up like that 😅 In the meantime, the regular dockerfiles have been updated as well, so those changes should be used here as well to begin with. Another thing that I noticed is that the development was setup for development, which is probably a bit overkill, a more or less production-ready config would be more useful.

As for the architecture, we would need a database (preferably postgres), some caching for sessions etc and the webserver. As far as I remember, there was a problem with the database setup, since it needs the application to install the migrations and load the initial data, but I can't tell you more

Have you got Discord? Maybe we could have a chat on there and see if we can get it working.

I've been chatting to the guys over at LinuxServer.io and they seem vaguely interested at adding this to their fleet if we can get something running well.

[rolandgeider]

Sorry I don't. We can use gitter, since there's already a channel there. Basically the idea is to do something like this

[rolandgeider]

I've beaten the docker-compose a bit into form, seems to be working enough now.

Hi, I am having some issues setting up wget with docker-compose.

What I did was to pull the entire repo, then run docker-compose.yml, but it results in a bunch of errors

cp: cannot create regular file '/home/wger/src/settings.py': Permission denied
Waiting for postgres...

the docker-compose file in the extras folder seems to be exclusively focused on the dev environment, and I just want to have the latest release of wger running on my server. Any idea what could be the issue? I've tried following the docs but I am still a bit confused.

I've moved this to a new issue
