Comment on Element/Matrix Official Docker Install Method?

• vane@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I have a git repo with some directory convention and bash scripts. Ex stop is just

  #!/bin/bash
  name=synapse
  docker stop $name
  docker rm $name
  

  etc. depending on what actions I need to do against container I have bash script for that and if I need to perform such action on other container I just copy paste and change name variable. So I pull this repo to my container host and just type ./bin/synapse/stop and I stop synapse.

  Hope that makes sense.

    Have you considered replace the name with input from stdin? So instead of name=synapse you could do name=$1 and have one script to use for all containers.

      yeah but I don’t mind having duplicated scripts, it’s just easier to go to single script and don’t have to worry about everything else, I keep them like bin/synapse/run, bin/synapse/stop, bin/synapse/logs etc. What I haven’t figured out is better way to keep all ports in one place instead of ports.md file but on the other hand it’s not like I have thousands of containers running.

        I feel you. I have ~20 container files (some are multiple containers in one file, e.g. db and web server) and I seldom have to do changes to them. Once properly configured, I don’t really have to do anything.
