Docker support

[EricGuic]

Hi, I would be very happy to see an "easier" way to deploy Memcode through Docker (for example for a homeserver in a familly, a school, a non-profit organization, etc.).
Could you provide it ?
Thanks and congratulations for this very usefull app.
Best regards.

I'd also love to see it.
Can't contribute more time to open-source projects at the moment, let's hope for someone to create & PR it.

Hi @EricGuic @lakesare,

I would really help with that, but I have just a question, please:
Do you want to have a Dockerfile just to build the whole project? Or with a docker-compose to deploy even the postgres with ?

Thank you :)

[EricGuic]

Hi both of you. As I’m not a dev, I can’t really help you.
For my needs, a docker compose file to deploy the app and the database (and other dependencies if needed) is what I’m looking for.
I use portainer to manage it.

Hi @EricGuic thank you for your response, Ok I'm working on it.
I'll do a PR when I finish ;)

[EricGuic]

Thank you very much @AbdelatifAitBara !

@AbdelatifAitBara How is your docker solution going ? I also need it. Many dependencies of this repo are too old, such as python2.7, node v8. It's very convenient if docker image is available.

[lakesare]

@baiwfg2, I'm in the process of updating everything to the latest version, bringing the repo to node v20.0.0.

Just pushed the current stage of the update.
Some things might break though, hoping to bring it to a non-broken version by the end of the week.

[lakesare]

The updated version fully works now.
Master branch of memcode is on node v20.0.0, and doesn't require python 2 to work (or any python for that matter).

If someone has capacity to set up a docker container for memcode - please continue with making it work for github codespaces (https://github.com/lakesare/memcode/tree/master/.devcontainer).
