Docker setup is broken

[lyrixx]

Hello.

See

wp-calypso/Dockerfile

Lines 8 to 9 in 79535ba

	COPY ./env-config.sh /tmp/
	RUN bash /tmp/env-config.sh

=> the file env-config.sh does not exist. I searched in the repository and in the git history, and I was not able to find it.

Yes I noticed this also, really wanted to start it with docker but I have no ideea what env-config.sh is supose to contain, I am guessing it just sets up the ENV vars, however I did not try it.

Hi, @lyrixx, thanks for the question.

The Dockerfile is rarely used for local development, more often for deployment. Still, if you’re curious, add an empty env-config.sh and it should work. There may be more roadblocks ahead, though.

@xkidro yeah, it’s mostly environment variables, but they are server-specific and the file is kept in the deployment repository.

Hello @nb, thank you for your response.

Can we at least get a sample ? with sample values ? so we know which ones to configure ? I did setup ENV CALYPSO_ENV production however it does not work....

[nb]

@xkidro production is not meant to work locally – it needs extra setup, which is not trivial – requests has to come from the wordpress.com domain, user bootstrap requires a way to make an API request for any user (and a special token), there’s probably something else that I’m forgetting.

Id disagree with that

production is not meant to work locally

One of the core premise of Docker is the concept that production is development. Your always running in as close to a production environment as possible - because you can.
