Docker ♥️

[dasrecht]

Hi there

As I didn't get it to run natively on my (maybe broken) system I took a detour via Docker.

The documentation is very very rough but maybe it helps someone else: https://github.com/dasrecht/tiny-care-terminal-docker

Thank you and have a great day :)

If tiny-care-terminal is running inside a docker, can it still get my git information on my host?

[dasrecht]

Yes, just mount your git repositories into the container. everything under /code is taken into account

    -v ~/code_directory:/code \ # Mount your code into the container

@dasrecht

Thanks for clarification:) Do we have to login the Docker to see the output?

[gauravchl]

Can we publish it to docker hub as well?
Would be awesome to pull image directly.
docker pull tiny-care-terminal

@gauravchl I uhhhh don't know what a docker or a docker hub is 😳. If you tell me how, I can (or: if you want to do it, go for it!)

[dasrecht]

@gauravchl It's on docker hub already. Named it this way because i didn't want to conflict it with the other repository.

docker pull dasrecht/tiny-care-terminal-docker

As it's just a small thing people can just pull it from my account if needed. But feel free to jump in :)

@notwaldorf 👋 no worries it's just a different way to run the tiny-care-terminal

[gauravchl]

@notwaldorf @dasrecht Cool! May be should keep Dockerfile here in same repo?! And add some guide in Readme?

@notwaldorf In short Docker = Virtualization + Containerization + Some Versioning


• Virtualization: We can run tiny-care-terminal in windows/osx machine as a linux environment.

• Containerization: No need to install dependencies(git-standup, gitlog, imagemagick…). Just pull the tiny-care-terminal image from docker hub and run it. Image comes with it’s own host environment(Ubuntu/ Debian..) and other dependencies(git-standup, node,..) bundled in an image(internally layer of images actually).

• Versioning: Create image, push to repo, pull from repo, create another image of same and add different tag, push again, pull specific image by tags, and run different versions.

Quick Start:

1. Install docker: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/#download-docker-for-mac
2. Pull tiny-care-terminal docker pull dasrecht/tiny-care-terminal-docker
3. Finally run it docker run -it dasrecht/tiny-care-terminal-docker

@dasrecht Maybe you want to add a small section to the Readme on how to use tct with docker!?
