Run master branch as Docker image

[luckman212]

Thanks for this project/fork!

I was able to run the docker image, but I wanted to use the default-random-filename = false flag. Seems that running it via

docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /root/linx-server/linx-server.conf:/data/linx-server.conf -v /root/linx-server/meta:/data/meta -v /root/linx-server/files:/data/files andreimarcu/linx-server -config /data/linx-server.conf

...doesn't get you the latest bits that have that flag available.

I'm not good at Docker - does anyone know the right way to run it "locally" from the cloned repo? Or a way to invoke Docker so it grabs the master branch?

🙏

Also, I don't care about running in Docker to be honest, I am basically just asking how to run from the master branch, even if that's just cloning the repo manually and compiling myself -- is it as simple as go build?

[luckman212]

Ok, I answered my own question 👍

I decided not to use Docker - for me it's overkill. I cloned the repo, installed go, built the binary and created a daemon for systemd. Not sure if that's the right way, but all's working well so far...

vi /lib/systemd/system/linx-server.service

contents:

[Unit]  
Description=linx-server
  
[Service]  
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5s
ExecStart=/root/linx-server/linx-server -config /root/linx-server/linx-server.conf
  
[Install]  
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start it

systemctl enable linx-server.service
systemctl start linx-server.service

instead of specifying "andreimarcu/linx-server" as the docker image you'd have to clone the rep and specify build path at the docker run command.
you should consider using docker instead ;)

Ok thanks @onvrb

For anyone else who is not a docker expert, I figured out how to do this, maybe this helps somebody...

This is just an example, change $LD to whatever path on the host you want your data stored in, and edit linx-server.conf as needed...

git clone https://github.com/ZizzyDizzyMC/linx-server
cd linx-server
docker build -t linx-master .
LD=/tmp/linx
mkdir $LD $LD/meta $LD/files
cp linx-server.conf.example $LD/linx-server.conf
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v $LD/linx-server.conf:/data/linx-server.conf -v $LD/meta:/data/meta -v $LD/files:/data/files linx-master -config /data/linx-server.conf

I have followed your instructions, but get error with permission when uploading file.

Do I need to do anything with the permission of the directories created?
