Multi-container

[so0k]

Hi, wouldn't it make more sense to create a docker-compose.yml file pointing to separate mysql/apache/dovecot/ftpd/... services?

right now you're dockerfile isn't actually doing the installation, you run the container, then commit it to an image...

you're not running a supervisor or other process to ensure the services keep running.

You're not mounting any volumes for the persistent data (apache sites / mysql / mailboxes / ..)

Did you say you use this in production?

Correct, because of the early sentora install scripts, it was much easier to just run the installation script inside of the built container and then commit it.

Not sure about supervisor - I think sentora maybe now includes something for that in its install scripts?

Persistent data is handled by the backup.py script and the start-sentora-container.sh script. See the readme for how that works.

This started as a side project and never really got finished. After talking with one of the dudes over at sentora it seems like they have another option for running this stuff: https://github.com/trojanspike/sentora-dockerized which may be more up to date.

I have been meaning to get back to this and clean it up some, if you're looking to make use of it perhaps we could chat sometime and get things in a more usable state
