Download TT-RSS at image build time about docker-tt-rss HOT 11 CLOSED

TT-RSS doesn't even get updated with the current image, once its downloaded it never updates tt-rss.

from docker-tt-rss.

Yes, while the container (or rather the volume) is there, it's never updated.

Now, let's say I test on host_staging linuxserver/tt-rss:153.
After a week, I'm fine with it, and want to deploy it on host_prod.
While I use the exact same image, a different version of TT-RSS will be downloaded there.

A more reaslistic use case, what happens if I want to run an older version of TT-RSS because the last one broke my custom theme/plugin ? I would simply want to pin the image version.

from docker-tt-rss.

Unfortunately running across this is the exact reason I can't use this image. Every other Linuxserver container I uses updates the software based on the build. This one doesn't.

After some further investigation, I've come to the conclusion that TT-RSS is just designed in a way that makes this difficult. Their upgrade path is a git pull, and they have all kinds of craziness in the .gitignore to make this work: https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/src/master/.gitignore

Why they didn't use a data directory for all dynamic content we'll probably never know. I'm tempted to join the Discourse to ask, but instead will probably spend some time forking this and seeing if I can make an update at build work.

I started a convo about data folders here: https://discourse.tt-rss.org/t/overhaul-ttrss-needs-a-data-directory/1922

In the meantime, I also supplied a PR to make updating at least possible.

from docker-tt-rss.

@Neraud @kelvinhammond While I made the PR above, I think the Linuxserver team should change their methodology to match the version of tt-rss I just created: https://hub.docker.com/r/nowsci/docker-ttrss

It creates the tt-rss image at build time, and puts only files that are unique to a users installation in the data volume. It also includes all prerequisites for plugins, LDAP, all DB types, and international support.

Give it a shot if you would like.

@kt1024 It has to be Geo based or some kind of blocking on VPN providers I tested it from US, Canada, and Mexico and I am not getting this.
