bookwyrm seems neat but un-docker-ifying it seems like a bunch of work

maybe for another day

spins up its own nginx and postgres and all sorts of shit

I just wanna run the service and integrate it with my other stuff

okay so getting rid of nginx and psql seems simple enough, those are fairly standard

also if I ran this on an existing machine with an existing db it’d fight with the database so that’s spectacularly stupid

volumes: - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data

you know what? there's an open issue to write docs to accomodate non-docker usecases

I'm just going to wait until someone does that rather than try to figure out how to cut this stuff out of docker

@izaya I'm curious what your opposition to this app being Dockerized is. general dislike for the Docker system or particular to this case? Is it that the bookwyrm docker image is packaging the DB but you want to use a different DB?

@2ck All of the above. Docker encourages a bunch of bad practices, but for my specific usecase I already have a containerisation system - LXC - set up. The docker setup here also doesn't allow me to configure it to use my existing nginx and postgres.

@izaya makes sense. LXC is better somehow? never used it
