Containarized app

[larus-argentatus-hftp]

Hello there :)

I am working on trying to build a container for this application.

This is the containerfile:

FROM node:22 AS builder

WORKDIR /app
RUN git clone --branch main https://github.com/oatear/cider.git .

WORKDIR /app/cider-app
RUN npm install
RUN npm install -g @angular/cli
RUN ng build --configuration=production
RUN cp dist/cider/browser/index.html dist/cider/browser/404.html


WORKDIR /
FROM nginx:latest
COPY --from=builder /app/cider-app/dist/cider/browser /usr/share/nginx/html
EXPOSE 80

You can build (and then run) by using:

1. podman build . -t cider;
2. podman run --rm --replace --name cider -p 8080:80 localhost/cider:latest;
3. Access localhost:8080 and see cider;

I would like to mount a volume to this, where I can store everything (similar to the offline app structure) but due to the different folder structures from the local app to the static website I am struggling. (This is in order to be able to collaborate with others in the same network as me).

I hope you can help me out :)

PS: Thank you for developing this application, it works really well and has all of the features we needed for a small project.

Have you guys considered using the standalone app with a git repository to store your project? I think the standalone app is better suited for a larger scaleable project that's being worked on by multiple people.

Since data is designed to be fully controlled by the user at the client end, the server is not set up to centrally store data--it only serves the web app. This was done to keep data with the user at all times.

Storing your data in a repository should give you all the benefits of working together with others and owning all the data yourself.

This has definitely come up many times and some users seem to prefer having their data in a central cloud service. I may reconsider the approach.

I like having the data on the client, but allowing cloud saves would be great as an additional option
