Testing Flatisfy using Docker

A basic Dockerfile is available for rapid testing. It is still really hacky and should not be used in production.

1. First, build the docker image:

cd docker
docker build -t phyks/flatisfy .

2. Then, create some folder to store your Flatisfy data in a permanent way (it will be mount as a Docker volume in next steps), and initialize an empty config:

mkdir flatisfy
cd flatisfy
FLATISFY_VOLUME=$(pwd)
docker run -P -v $FLATISFY_VOLUME:/flatisfy -p 8080:8080 phyks/flatisfy sh -c "cd /home/user/app && python -m flatisfy init-config > /flatisfy/config.json"

3. Then, edit the generated config.json file according to your needs. See 0.getting_started.md for more infos on the configuration file format.

4. Finally, run the docker image to fetch flats and serve the web UI:

docker run -P -v $FLATISFY_VOLUME:/flatisfy -p 8080:8080 phyks/flatisfy

Your Flatisfy instance is now available at localhost:8080!
