Somehow it seems that your image does not let dotnet be installed about docker-code-server HOT 13 CLOSED

Why don't you use the mod for it?
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods/tree/code-server-dotnet

from docker-code-server.

Really? You have a .NET SDK image and you have named it mod. I searched your repository to find .NET and I simply couldn't. Then I scanned all of your repositories and still didn't find anything, because mod is not a name that is familiar to a .NET developer.

That's great news. I'll test it right away.

It's very difficult to understand.

However, I added this environment variable to my docker-compose.yml to test it:

- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:code-server-dotnet

And after running docker-compose up it's now stuck in this phase:

Recreating code-server ... done
Attaching to code-server
code-server | [mod-init] Attempting to run Docker Modification Logic

But to be honest, your entire repo is very difficult to understand. I wish you could have a simple code snippet, like an installation script that we could use to add code-server to an existing image. Do you have that?

from docker-code-server.

Docker mods is our way to extend our images.

@Roxedus that's awesome, however, I couldn't simply use it.

I found this which worked very easily.

My feedback is that you should simplify access to your images. Because your idea is awesome, but I'm one simple case of failure in being able to use them.

Thank you so much for your great work.

We link to mods in all our readmes. Anything built on top of our images is not getting support by us.

from docker-code-server.

And after running docker-compose up it's now stuck in this phase:

It's not stuck, it's downloading the mod

Really? You have a .NET SDK image and you have named it mod

It's not an image and we didn't name it mod. It is a mod (short for modification), one of many we publish. They are all linked in the readmes

from docker-code-server.

@Roxedus your work is great. However, as a developer who knows little about all those fancy Linux commands, I was searching for something to be used in my FROM some_image_with_code_server_and_dotnet line in my Dockerfile.

Since you guys are gurus at this, I recommend that you deploy such images.

from docker-code-server.

Why is that a better way than what we are doing now?
The way it's now, you add an env variable for the mod and recreate the container and it's installed. You just have to be patient and wait for it to finish installing.
It can't be much easier than that.

from docker-code-server.

And each time a developer wants to create a container he has to wait a ton of time?
Containers are ephemeral by nature. We destroy them and recreate them frequently.
Containers should be up and running in seconds. Any initialization that takes a long time is a bad decision for a container.

You should embody that in an image, not at the start of the container. Of course, that's a bad decision. There is no arguing that.

Just download any image with over 100M downloads and run a container on top of it and measure the time it takes to load. You'll understand.

That being said, I understand that open-source means spending time free for others. And it's a valuable thing to do, and I'm doing it myself and I'm thankful to you for that. However, it does not mean that others can't help or criticize for improvement.

from docker-code-server.

Then you are free to do it as you want. You don't have to use our images of you don't like them.

from docker-code-server.

That's exactly what I'm doing now. But it's feedback from one person for you. I loved your image, yet I could not use it because of many design flaws in them. Root user support and hardcoded images are two of them. I just say you could support more developers if you only changed a couple of small things.

Anyway, thank you so much for your valuable works and time.
