Quick question on the Docker Image choice

[rodrigolira]

Hi @LucidDan ! I really like how you installed Ghost in this Docker image. Makes it really easy to use the storage plugins.

A quick question just out of curiosity: why did you take the route of installing Ghost from scratch instead of adding the plugins to the official Ghost image?

Thanks.

Hi @rodrigolira - it was a while ago, but from memory the main reason I started from scratch with a Node docker image instead of pulling the Ghost image and extending it, was because of a bug I encountered in NodeJS SSL support which prevented knex's mysql-ssl support working in the latest Node versions (see issue here.)

So to work around this I have the Dockerfile pinned to nodeJS 10.15.0 - far from ideal, but there hasn't been a fix released yet.

One of my current tasks is to test with Node 10.16.1, and see if the issue still exists there or not.

Hello again. I tried in the past using the Ghost official image as my base without luck. Running npm install to install the storage modules keeps messing with Ghost dependencies. Maybe it's related with the issue you described, I'm not sure.

Anyway, thanks!
