Docker build

[talhazan]

Hello,

This tool seems amazing, would you mind sketch docker build? I can assist if you need.

The build beaks on my linux box, I haven't found any logs so debugging seems a bit complicated.

i would prefer to dockerize the app and continue from there.

Thank you!

Yes, good point. I definitely should set this up in Docker. I have a little Docker experience, but not a lot so it might take me some time. I will take a look in the next few days and comment here if I get stuck. Thanks for the offer of help!

Meanwhile, Laravel stores logs in /storage/logs. But I have a feeling you might be having problems before that point.

I have started a branch for this: https://github.com/jefc1111/zenbot-sim-runner/tree/dockerize

It's a work-in-progress (adapted from https://laravel-news.com/laravel-scheduler-queue-docker). The app works, with Redis and MySQL running, but I haven't yet worked out the best way to let it remote-control Zenbot. I could include a block for Zenbot in docker-compose.yml and take that route, but I was hoping to keep them more separate. Any ideas very welcome!

best way is when you use zenbot in a docker to. then add a network to both docker-compose files so they Docker Container can communicate. i will try this and let you know if this is working.

Ok, thanks. I haven't used Zenbot in Docker so not too familiar with that setup. I did a search on Stack Overflow etc on the subject of 'php app in Docker calling shell cmds in a different Docker container, or on host system' and all the solutions looked fairly involved. Do-able though... Meanwhile I have been working on giving the sim runner some self-learning capabilities. Fun! Let me know how you get on with the Docker stuff, happy to get involved.

didnt get it that you will use the zenbot binaray. so my idea is not working well. will try to build a new Docker environment with all together.
PS: is it possible that your .env File still showing to your local mysql DB? because the "php artisan migrate" will not run in the container. php-mysql stuff is missing.

To get things working in Docker I had to set my db in .env like this;
DB_HOST=mysql
'mysql' being the name of the container running MySQL server.
