Docker Image for Builds

[VikashKothary]

We've now got a CI for https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server. It needs a docker image for build process. I'm currently using this this image but it doesn't allow building the lastest verson of the psutil library.

Adding this would fix that:

$ RUN apk add --update gcc libc-dev linux-headers && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

Source: giampaolo/psutil#664.

Alternatively, we could have separate development and prod images, which would probably be better in the long term.

Hey, sorry, I did not see this - I'm watching this repository from now. Is this still relevant?

[VikashKothary]

Yep. Still relevant but not urgent. Basically we need separate Docker images for development and production. Any thoughts?

Hello,

if I understand you, would rebuilding the image with up-to-date libraries resolve the problem?

[VikashKothary]

Nope. The current docker image is for running the anki sync server and it runs fine.

But for development we've got other libraries e.g. for testing, linting, building documentation, etc. Once of those libraries psutil doesn't work on alpine linux without the above dependencies.

We could add the dependency to the existing docker image, however, that would increase the size of the image and would be pointless for 90% of users. This is why I was recommending creating a second docker image.

I'll assign myself to the issue. Just wanted to run it past you first.

Ah I see, okay.
