Think of moving the whole deployment to docker

[charliwest]

Hello,

Had some free time and was setting up 2 ispindels and wanted to test them with the csv method before moving onto anything more complex.

Anyway, long story short, I docker-ised the set up (currently for csv only) over at https://github.com/charliwest/iSpindel-Service-docker.

Still some work to do to make it fuller, but the basics work already.

Nice. Keep us updated!

What sort of docker are you using? Mine is running on a qnap in a container. Configuration depends on what database you are using. I did not want to use a separate database and access the main DB of the qnap system. This allows me to access and display that data e.g. in WordPress under my regular Apache on the qnap.

At this moment I am using it on a PI, I am looking into how to cross build it for multi platform (using this as a learning experience for me to use docker)

Yes, at the moment this is JUST the python process, I had it writing to a csv, I have also spun up a mariadb container and had it write to the db there. I want to try and keep these things separate, as that is the point of docker. You can of course use the iSpindel-service-docker to write to multiple locations. By the sound of it you can just change the location the python writes to as normal and just point it to the db you want it to write to, as mentioned I have tested the db part and it seems to work just fine.
