@MarceauKa Hello, any update on 2.0 version?

[MarceauKa]

Hello @AuthorShin, 2.0 is currently paused, I'll start again in few weeks

Better Docker integration is on the roadmap, but you asked for feedback: Would be really great to have that! I have tried to use a docker image from dockerhub, but the whole config is currently built in in the Dockerfile (use the host mariadb and redis with fixed host names). For an easy deployment, usually those parameters are passed in via environment variables and then taken directly. This would make it possible to create a generic docker image and then people just point it to their sql database and their redis docker container.

Took me a few hours yesterday to get that running, because for some reason my changes to config.php and .env did not get used. It was totally worth it, shaark is REALLY great! There is literally nothing better available for self hosting.

I think if docker installation would be easy, then a lot more people would be using it (I am an unraid user and if something is in the store, that is a huge boost)

@kamtschatka When I'll ready, can I keep in touch with you for a better Docker integration?

[kamtschatka]

absolutely!

Some more feedback: The organization of the posts is ok for smaller collections of posts, but for smaller collections I would like to have some structured way of organizing them. A simple Tree structure where you can group them based on topics and then subtopics would be nice. There is another tool that is similar to shaark, that solves it like this, which is quite helpful:

I wholeheartedly concur with @kamtschatka. It would be fantastic to have a simplified Docker installation process, where SQL and Redis are incorporated into the same container. This way, end-users could manage their environment variables and deal with only one container, making it incredibly convenient for those who wish to oversee their Docker instances through a management system or monitor their container's health. Additionally, users could also take advantage of auto-update functions and check for updates, further streamlining the process.

Unfrotunately, I did not succeed to get this to run on my Synology NAS using Docker, even though a docker-compose.yml is provided. I would really love to see a simplified, integrated solution that would deploy (and possibly initialize) all containers needed. I've been looking quite some time now to find a good fit for my read-it-later self-hosting needs; from the screenshot, it seems that Shaark might be it—but since the demo instance doesn't work and there's very little activity, I'm not sure if this project even is still active/alive and whether it's realistic to hope for a new release?
