I'm also experimenting with Dockerising LMS and, like kidhazy, I've based mine on the Doliana Dockerfile. This one is itself based on earlier work by several other people and seems fairly comprehensive. I'd expect basing anything new on existing work must be a better option than starting from scratch.
Reading through this thread, there's been some discussion about how things are best achieved in the Docker world and the efficiency of rebuilding images. I'm far from an expert, but I can share a couple of observations. I agree with epoch1970: images are supposed to be immutable and if you're doing updates in the container, you're not doing it the "docker way". Because image immutability is one of the goals of Docker, the process for creating an updated image is streamlined as much as it can be and where possible, steps are cached. I can recreate the arm image from the Dockerfile with an updated LMS in a minute or so on a Pi and it doesn't take appreciably longer if all the cached layers are invalidated. The Doliana image is based on a small (20MB) official Debian image, which is not quite 'Alpine' small, but pretty good, and already includes Perl. After that, only a small number of additional components are installed along with the LMS .deb nightly. The container I created yesterday comes in at 283MB. That said, I am having some teething issues. One is definitely unrelated to anything in Doliana (I want to use Shairport 2W and its internal mDNS server is conflicting with avahi running on my host) and I'm not sure about the other one... I don't want to hijack this thread (I'll start another one with proper details if I can't sort it out), but if anyone has come across a problem where Squeezelite gets a buffer underrun after a track has been playing for about 8 minutes, causing the server to pause playback for about 20 secs, I'd be keen to know! (There is no apparent change in cpu or memory activity, they stays pretty low; the slimproto heartbeat signals between the client and server continue throughout the pause.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BobSammers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66026 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111828 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
