Container image #8

@Timoses

Description

@Timoses

A Dockerfile to create an image that users of dotfim can spin up could be useful. People unfamiliar with D may feel hesitant to build the app themselves. Containers to the rescue!

Aspects to consider:

  • Container requires access to the user's home directory (where dotfiles reside)

  • Optimally the container should have a persistent volume (to store its settings and the git repository)

    • In Docker one can use container specific volumes.
    • OR: map git repo volume to existing git repo (offers user a neat way to manually edit the git repo, which could become useful for DotfiM profiles #3 when the user wants to edit lines in another profile not visible to the current machine (not visible in dotfile, only in gitfile))
  • Should enable dotfim test for experimentation in isolated container
