alt Hacker NewsI've always wondered if I was using containers wrong because none of them I've ever had to create were complicated. Maybe it's because I choose tools that make local development easy (Go + sqlite + various CLTs) or maybe it's because I never hard to interact with this on the professional side outside of making images for our projects (which still weren't complicated for the reasons above).
LLMs make containers in a pretty workable format for me (still hand tweak the env variables for a sanity check).
How exactly does it struggle here and why does postgres need to be built? Were the needs beyond what you get in a base image?
This was the repo: https://github.com/amalshaji/portr
And this was my gh issue: https://github.com/amalshaji/portr/issues/308
And below was my prompt:
""" give me single docker-compose file that i can run on my server to run current project... you can read README.md , and then, this relevant page: https://docs-custom-reverse-proxy.portr-docs.pages.dev/docs/... ... this was the result of me raising github issue: https://github.com/amalshaji/portr/issues/308 ... you can use gh cli to fetch the details and comments...
i already have a caddy server running on my vps... and i will create wildcard certificates myself using certbot.. the domain name will be helloportr.xyz ... also, ports up to 9019 are already taken...
ask me if anymore info is needed... """
You can try yourself and let me know of what you got.
