Packaging non-cloudron docker base image?

[murgero]

Is it possible to use a base image in the dockerfile that is NOT cloudron:<versionnumber>?

[Lonk]

Yes, absolutely it is. I do it anyway and haven't had a single issue with the one custom app I do this with.

[murgero]

@Lonk Thanks for the quick response - this will help in getting that custom php5.x app made (I know, security issue and all that)

Ooh, also good for getting sysbox up and running easily with a full OS.

Thought we needed new base image(s).

@robi Cloudron still makes the filesystem readonly - there has to be a way around this to get sysbox working.

If sysbox can get working, I have an idea to get VDI rolling in cloudron and that would be AMAZING for enterprise.

@murgero you're right, thanks for that. That would suggest a new hint to docker to run an OS container differently, which would make it more Unmanaged.

I didn't see much discussion from our fearless devs in the Sysbox post.

Let’s not forget about the mounting feature in 6.0 tho. ️
