A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Thank you, all!


hey all!

i need some guidance. can you help point me in the right direction?

there a docker image that is basically fine, except i just want to add a group to it so that group will exist in the container.

how do i do this? is there a way to do this that will just pull the original image as is, so it will update when the original image updates, and then just add the group i need?

thanks in advance!

The answers about using Dockerfiles are absolutely correct, but if you're looking for a quick and simple solution that will work locally, you can always just use the "commit" docker command. This basically saves the current state of a container as a new image. You can then run new containers from that image as needed.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44480740/how-to-save-a-docker-container-state

This is totally fine for testing, but there are almost always better solutions.
