Would you guys be open to a Pull Request for a docker-compose and some Dockerfiles ?

I was thinking that it would help local development in the wild to have a docker-compose that launches the db, the backend and the frontend (never dockerized a flutter app but should be possible).

Edit: i'm checking the database scripts. The idea would be to simplify this logic so that random developers can launch the project in a very simple and straight forward way

Yes, please! The Rust+Flutter stack isn't that common nowadays and having to spend more than 1 hour (my case so far) for installing all the Rust and Flutter dependencies, plus compiling... is discouraging, unless you have been waiting for a Notion open source clone for years!

With Docker it would be super easy and fast to just fetch AppFlowy and run it

Please DO create the Docker Image we are interested in hosting it on our servers.

It has taken more than 3 hours to install all dependencies so far without success.

We're definitely open to PRs. To understand this better, do you want a docker backend or both the backend and the frontend?

Love how you put this all together - I can feel your pain now :(
Let's just keep discussing this topic in this thread until we land on a nice solution :D

@franciscoafonsoo It seems possible to docker the flutter desktop application.
https://hub.docker.com/r/openpriv/flutter-desktop

I use docker to host the backend on my laptop to develop the frontend, but I didn't set up the Dockerfile.

@franciscoafonsoo commented on GitHub (Nov 16, 2021):

So i will start with something very simple:

docker-compose definition for the backend and the database. something like this

version: "3.8"

services:
  backend:
    image: appflowy-backend
    build:
      context: ./backend
      dockerfile: Dockerfile

    ports:
      - 8080:8080

  database:
    image: postgres:14.1-bullseye
    environment:
      DB_USER: postgres
      DB_PASSWORD: password
      DB_NAME: flowy
      DB_PORT: 5433

    ports:
      - 5433:5433

I am reading the db scripts to understand what needs to be done. But should look something like that. After having that done, it's a matter of exploring flutter docker and connecting it.

Is the existing rust Dockerfile working ? @appflowy

little idea, let's volume data to the local.
so we can easily back up.
or, users can volume path to apple iCloud path, so data can sync between the company and home easily.

by the way, don't forget to support M1. 😁

That would be fantastic. Would love to get it running on my end under unraid.

I think it would be more useful to be able to also run the flutter desktop app itself in a docker container during development and display the GUI on the host machine, because it will allow us to use flutter's hot reload for development.

This link is a good reference on how to run GUI apps in a container. Not sure if it will be easy to apply it to the flutter desktop toolchain though.

A web (PWA) version would of course be much easier to run/develop with docker.

The backend docker image is ready. Run
make docker_image

I couldn't find the method to run the GUI desktop application build with flutter in Docker, but I'll keep trying. I'm working on the frontend part that enables communication with the backend. Let me know if I'm on the right track to meet your needs.

I don't think there is a straightforward way to do it. Users might have to do some external setup to get GUI applications working on docker. Besides, i don't think there is a usecase here. Users could easily use the release zips to run the frontend. If its for easier building, maybe a docker image with mounted folder could be used and the build could be output in the folder.

I think a docker-compose to launch all the stack (back, front, db) would be great to promote the application. Today, I wanted to test the application on Ubuntu, but there is no "one-command test". In addition, Rust and Flutter are still fairly new, and not everyone is perfectly comfortable with these technologies. While a docker-compose...

This thread needs a conclusion. There seems to be bits and pieces, but no clear outcome. Can someone write up a blogpost/wiki that explains what our docker containers can do, how to install them, and how to use them? If a PR is needed, let's get that done too. Then we can close this issue.

Who would like to take the lead on this?
