Docker Image

[RiFi2k]

Any interest in having a docker or docker-compose setup. I would be willing to help, and it might help lighten your server load if people can get it rolling in a way almost everyone at this point is universally familiar with.

Hey, sounds good! While I'm familiar with Docker, I don't know much about setting up specific containers for projects, so I'd love some help. Thanks!

[RiFi2k]

I would be down to get this going for you in a branch, do you have anywhere you talk dev like a slack channel or something?

[RiFi2k]

It should be pretty straight forward and easy, I was going to do it for myself personally anyways because I love the project and wanted to be able to deploy it with all my other stuff.

@RiFi2k I've got a Discord channel -> https://discord.gg/puxy6AT

Hi, do we have an update on this? I'm planning to do this on my own, but if you have already done so, I would be more than happy to use officially maintained docker image.

[syropian]

@cnnblike I have virtually no experience setting up Docker containers, but would be more than happy to accept a PR if you're interested in tackling it. Thanks!

FYI, I have created myself a Docker image for Astral. It contains few rather opinionated changes, so I'd say it cannot be directly copy pasted, but can perhaps serve as a basis for someone. https://github.com/Kdockerfiles/astral

Hi,
i also made this POC to host Astral on docker, using mariadb as storage.
feel free to improve it !

@unsync This looks great! Would you be willing to PR this to the main repo?

[unsync]

@syropian with pleasure !
Where would you want it, all files in a /docker folder ?

Dear Astral's users,

Although this post is old, I would like to know if the community has progressed with installing Astral through Docker. So far, I have not seen clear installation instructions for a non-skilled user like me. Nevertheless, there are four good attempts to install Astral with Docker:

unsync/astral-docker
fatihboy/container-astral
StormyWarrior8/DockerizedAstral
Kdockerfiles/astral
I would appreciate knowing if somebody could test Astral with Docker in 2024.

FWIW I still run my solution (https://github.com/Kdockerfiles/astral) and it works fine. The upstream hasn't really moved since, so I don't think there's much to be done for now.
Also don't think there is a way around the OAuth setup shenanigans, unfortunately.
[I've tried running the next branch too at some point, but all I could squeeze out was a 500 ;-).]

Many thanks for your care. I have looked at your solution and am happy it works for you. Nevertheless, I could not follow your instructions since I have minor knowledge of Docker and web servers. Could you please provide instructions for dummies like me in the future? I wish to run my Astral App quickly. I have more than 5k stars, and the Astral free server cannot handle my GitHub stars anymore. Any extra information about your solution will be very appreciated. Thanks.

Dear KenjiTakahashi,

Again, many thanks for your help. Can you please provide more instructions for installing the Astral app on Docker? I am still struggling to follow your solution. I would appreciate your help on this.
