Alpine based Dockerfile for the lounge

Hi guys

I made a Dockerfile for the lounge, based on Alpine linux. It’s quite space saving

root@vps: ~ # docker ps -s --format "{{.Names}}: {{.Size}}"
w7pea_lounge: 4.013 kB (virtual **719.7 MB**)
alpine_lounge: 0 B (virtual **66.81 MB**)

It’s here. I could make a pull request but I’m not sure where I should put that in thelounge sources?

A new repo specific to the Docker container has been created: https://github.com/thelounge/docker-lounge.

Therefore I’m going to close this issue, but I encourage you to re-open it on the new repo (with a link to this issue) if it’s still relevant.

Thanks!

Hey, sorry for the late reply, was kinda busy

I’m using the npm install way. Here is the docker hub page, but I’m hitting the WTF wall here. It build on my server, but there’s this npm compilatiion issue on hub.docker.com… driving me nutty. Gonna fix that whenever I find out what’s wrong.

Anyway, the whole point is about size as far as I’m concerned. I’m running my own little vps with little disk space, using alpine as a base is a real difference.

Hey @rgarrigue https://github.com/rgarrigue can you post the link to your container on hub.docker.com. Definitely its own repro. The question in my mind is does it pull the code from the tagged releases in github or does it use npm install to do so. Both are valid. I’m not sure if the install of a nodejs app from gh is much different than the npm install method, one of you would need to answer that.
