#1 Updated by Roger Borrello 8 months ago

Some things I am considering:
  • We have implemented fwd_create_pg_cluster.sh (currently in the container project, see #10491). I'd like to create a similar fwd_create_mariadb_datadir.sh that would setup your environment in a consistent manner. I would expect this script would setup any configurations files as we'd require in FWD use.
  • We mostly abandoned the notion of utilizing the postgres Docker image in our solutions. Instead, opting for an Ubuntu image that would run the FWD server. It would:
    • Include custom locales
    • Include PostGreSQL install
    • Provide control over the entrypoint. The postgres Docker image gives you environment variable hooks to be able to setup the initial cluster, and database creation. Our own implementation affords us more control (using tools like fwd_create_pg_cluster.sh, for example). We probably would do the same for MariaDB, rather than using the mariadb Docker image.
  • Consistent use of the import.sh tool (really just a testing effort).
