Documentation on building/running Docker container

[obbardc]

There should be some information on how to build and run the Docker container in the README.

[dustin-hawkins]

simple instructions

git clone https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard.git
docker build . --tag mattermost/focalboard
docker run -p 8000:8000 --restart always mattermost/focalboard

Now that a Dockerfile has been created, if whomever controlled the mattermost docker hub account could

docker build . --tag mattermost/focalboard
docker login
docker push mattermost/focalboard

the most simple docker-compose.yml file would then look like

version: '3.3'
services:
    focalboard:
        ports:
            - '80:8000'
        restart: always
        image: mattermost/focalboard

That being said, here is a docker-compose.yml that will build the existing image.

version: '3.3'
services:
    focalboard:
        ports:
            - '8000:8000'
        restart: always
        image: mattermost/focalboard
        build: .

@metanerd can you take care of this? How can we automatize that process? something like "as part of the release".

https://hub.docker.com/repository/create

Link it to your repository here, and then you can configure automatic builds & tags on commits to master or releases

@jwilander are you the person to contact for this?

[jwilander]

Yep. I can make the dockerhub repo right now. As for getting the automation configured someone should be able to submit a circleci configuration for it. @metanerd or myself can configure the secrets in circleci for dockerhub for it but we've got a bunch of other high priority stuff we're working on right now so if you need more than that we'll need a JIRA ticket and to prioritize accordingly.

[jwilander]

Actually looks like I can hook it directly up to dockerhub for auto-building per what @dustin-hawkins said. Let me just do that.

[jwilander]

It's now set up here https://hub.docker.com/r/mattermost/focalboard. New pushes to master will get built as mattermost/focalboard:latest and new tags should be built as mattermost/focalboard:X.X.X

[obbardc]

nice!

@jwilander Thanks!

For what it's worth, I have setup a build for ARM images for deploying on raspberry pi, available at Dockerhub: nicoulaj/focalboard. The source is at: nicoulaj/focalboard-docker. I plan on maintaining it until ARM images are published by this project.
