Anvil app server with Docker

commands.md

Build the Dockerfile

sudo docker build . --tag myy-anvil

Prepare the folders

sudo docker run --rm -v /host/path/where/to/store/your/apps:/usr/src --entrypoint "mkdir" myy-anvil .anvil-data

Create a project

sudo docker run -v /host/path/where/to/store/your/apps:/usr/src --rm --entrypoint "create-anvil-app" myy-anvil todo-list WonderfulName

Launch

sudo docker run -p 3030:3030 -v /host/path/where/to/store/your/apps:/usr/src myy-anvil anvil-app-server --app WonderfulName

TODO

• Mount /home/applauncher/.anvil as a volume, in order to avoid redownloading the whole app server everytime. Or integrate it within the Docker image maybe ?
• Create a script to prepare the environment automatically and then run the provided commands
• Use this script as the actual ENTRYPOINT
