📄 Description

Description

While trying to run the app through Docker (following https://appflowy.gitbook.io/docs/essential-documentation/install-appflowy/installation-methods/installing-with-docker) I ran into the following issues:

The app is only compatible with Flutter 3.3.10, but the Flutter version is not pinned in the Docker image.

Solved by downloading the precise version according to https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux#install-flutter-manually.
I needed to run xhost local:docker in my host prior to starting the app, otherwise an error will occur.

Solved by running the aforementioned command and adding a note about it.
The entrypoint ["./appflowy_flutter"] apparently is incorrect

Solved by figuring out where the executable is located within the generated bundle with find . -executable -type f

While going through those issues and solving them, I tinkered with the image and added some comments along the way.

Trying it out

$ cd frontend/scripts/docker-buildfiles
$ docker-compose rm -fvs
$ docker image rm --force appflowy/appflowy:latest
$ docker-compose up
