Dockerfile

[csalg]

I created a Dockerfile to make deployment easier.

Trying to run this using docker run -itdp 8080:80 csalg/lwt_fork but getting this error in browser:

Fatal Error: DB connect error (MySQL not running or connection parameters are wrong; start MySQL and/or correct file "connect.inc.php"). Please read the documentation: http://lwt.sf.net [Error Code: 1045 / Error Message: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)]

Any idea why that is? I have minimal experience with docker.
edit:
@csalg seems connect.inc.php wasn't changed, so the password wasn't specified.

Oh, I didn't see this comment until now. I will look into it.

I've been trying out the official release of LWT and I find it great but slow. I heard there exists faster unofficial versions like this one, but I'm at a loss for how to install it. It won't work by simply putting it in the devserver-folder like with the official release. I tried Docker, but I can't figure out how to set it up with this document. Anyone know where one can get any information about how to install this unofficial version?

Run

docker build -t csalg/lwt_fork:latest .
docker run -itdp 8010:80 csalg/lwt_fork

for this fork.

Otherwise, I made another version compatible with Docker at hugofara/lwt, installation are provided at docs/install.md.

Generally speaking, you shouldn't use Docker if you are looking for better performances. For reinstalling LWT, just follow the instructions in install.md ;)

I made this just because I found installation cumbersome, but there should be no speed improvements, it's just to make it quick to install in a container. In fact, on a non-Linux machine (e.g. Mac) it will run slower. On a Linux machine the performance should be the same.
