@snep @dragonarchitect like that's all well and good if you're an enterprise building infrastructure-as-code stuff with build artifacts and CI/CD and all that cargo cult shit, but for a NAS it's super high friction and very annoying (especially because it has no UI for compose - if you want anything beyond the container as-is plus some mounts you're generally SOL via the UI)

@gsuberland @dragonarchitect It really just sounds like a bad implementation in this case that disallows proper customization in the GUI of installed containers. I've never done any work with any CI/CD or IaaS implemenations and I still think Docker is great for single instance applications /because/ the containers can reliably be set up in a repeatable way on any machine the engine runs on, /because/ they are immutable outside of mount points and env variables. Less friction than DIYing it IMO


@snep @dragonarchitect so one example of a major friction point here is when things have bugs. a while back I had installed a popular webapp thing in a jail. they also publish it via docker. there was a bug that affected my install. I reported it and sent a PR but it didn't get fixed in a release for 9 months.

on CORE: `iocage console thething; nano /path/to/broken.file` and patch it

on SCALE: haha hope you like maintaining and publishing your own dockerfiles (also you don't get updates now)
