Emanote in Docker (missing logs) (missing docs)

[edenworky]

The state of affairs is that Emanote runs reasonably well in Docker, however, it took me a couple hours to put together since this isn't documented in the guide anywhere. Moreover, try as I might, Emanote's logs get swallowed under docker compose, i.e. nothing actually gets piped to STDOUT. Despite this, it does actually work as expected, but without logs it is somewhat concerning. Regardless, for prosperity, here's what worked for me:

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt update -y
RUN apt install curl -y
RUN apt install git -y
RUN curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install linux \
    --extra-conf "sandbox = false" \
  --init none \
  --no-confirm
ENV PATH="${PATH}:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin"
RUN nix profile add --accept-flake-config github:srid/emanote

docker-compose.yaml

name: "emanote"

services:
  emanote:
    build: .
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: emanote
    volumes:
      - .:/repo
    working_dir: /repo
    ports:
      - "8722:8722"
    command: >
      bash -c "emanote --allow-broken-internal-links run --port=8722 --host 0.0.0.0"

Note --host 0.0.0.0 which is critical, as well as --allow-broken-internal-links for avoiding build errors (since here I use Emanote as a live view, i.e. I don't run emanote build.

You can build docker image through Nix. See the reverted changes in this PR: #607
