Improving docker-compose.yml
I have a couple of proposals that in my opinion would improve docker-compose.yml
.
-
Instead of
/etc/snikket/
, why not use/root/snikket/
as the main installation directory? -
Why not use local volume directories, like this:
volumes: - ./data:/snikket - ./data/acme_challenges:/var/www/html/.well-known/acme-challenge
This way, everything about Snikket will be located in a single directory (
/root/snikket/
), and this would make backup/restore easier. -
Why not merge
snikket_certs
andsnikket_proxy
in a single container? They already usetini
anyway. Actually, it would be ideal (in my opinion) to include all the services in a single container. Discourse does this, for example, and Snikket is nowhere as complex as Discourse. -
Instead of
network_mode: host
(which of course, makesdocker-compose.yml
simpler), forwarding only the required ports would be cleaner, in my opinion. Yes, docker is not very efficient when you forward a range of ports (the UDP ports of the TURN server), but this range doesn't have to be very big; 100 or 200 ports are more than enough for almost all the cases.
