Publish a docker container image for FieldStation42
It would be nice to create a docker container image for FieldStation42 so that I can bundle it with a ws4kp and ws4channels containers and have an easy way to deploy FieldStation42 with a weather channel. This may not be a feasible thing to do yet, but I figured I'd make the request now.
I am only just learning how to use docker, helm, and kubernetes at work and I know enough to be confident that this is possible but I'm still a little fuzzy on the details. I wouldn't mind taking a try at this as a learning activity later, but I also wouldn't mind if someone who knows more did it instead.
There are a lot of use cases where a deploying this in a container makes sense - would definitely be supportive.
This would be neat to do. I've only done a handful of dockerfiles, so I have a vague idea of where to start. If you want someone to ride shotgun I'd be happy to collaborate on this.
Docker deployment would dramatically simplify install, and I'm a fan.
Worked on this feature recently https://github.com/shane-mason/FieldStation42/pull/189
For sure - this is amazing. Thank you much @matthew-c-lee - I'll add the documentation to the wiki and then we'll close this one.
Gave this a good test this morning and everything worked great! The only thing I wish is that I could pass in command arguments. I suppose we could set that up with compose or environment? Or am I missing something?
