Running pajbot in a docker container

In March, I tried running pajbot in a docker container via docker-compose but I didn't have much success. I think it would be a good idea to make a docker documentation for the bot, so those people who don't have a spare server for hosting the bot could do it by using docker.

I tried running the bot with the following docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
 pajbot:
  image: leppunen/pajbot2:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  environment:
    - VIRTUAL_HOST=bot.redacted.tld
    - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=bot.redacted.tld
    - VIRTUAL_PORT=80
  networks:
    - public_services
 # (public_services = my nginx reverse proxy)
  volumes:
    - ./configs/pajbot2.json:/app/cmd/bot/config.json
    - ./db:/var/run/postgresql:ro
    - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

networks:
  public_services: 
    external: true

You'll have to make a configs folder, and then a pajbot2.json, because docker will think that pajbot2.json is a folder.

I tried running the bot with the following docker-compose.yml file:

The only problem I had when running it is this:

When I pasted the example config file, I got this error:

root@mateyo-vps-1:~/docker/pajbot# docker-compose up 
Recreating pajbot_pajbot_1 ... done
Attaching to pajbot_pajbot_1
pajbot_1  | 2022/08/20 23:27:41 An error occurred while loading the config file: invalid character 'm' looking for beginning of value

When I made an empty config file, I got this error:

root@mateyo-vps-1:~/docker/pajbot/configs# touch pajbot2.json
root@mateyo-vps-1:~/docker/pajbot/configs# cd .. && docker-compose up
Creating pajbot_pajbot_1 ... done
Attaching to pajbot_pajbot_1
pajbot_1  | 2022/08/20 23:30:15 An error occurred while loading the config file: unexpected end of JSON input

PS (2022. 08. 29. 20:14 UTC+2): I just realised that I wanted to paste an ini file's content into a json file. :D

I formatted the example.ini file into a json file, and now when I try to start the bot, I get this error:

As this issue is related to pajbot2, I've moved this issue to the pajbot2 repo. If you want to talk about pajbot1 docker support feel free to open a new issue in the pajbot/pajbot repo
