Jeremy Dyer commented on MINIFI-175:
------------------------------------
So after thinking through this a little more I think I need to make some
changes. Instead of building minifi-cpp on the host machine and then copying
the resulting binary to the docker image I believe that the source code should
be copied to the docker image and then compiled there. Unfortunately this means
a more bloated docker image than the lightweight alpine image but I believe the
benefits far outweigh the extra size.
This would also mean that end users could docker exec -it <containerid> bash
and hack around on the source code without needing to setup a development
environment.
I don't image the docker containers being used in real world environments
anyway since most of those situations will be embedded so the extra space would
only be encountered on a development machine which shouldn't be a big deal.

> Key: MINIFI-175
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-175
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 0.1.0
> Reporter: Jeremy Dyer
> Assignee: Jeremy Dyer
> Fix For: cpp-0.2.0

>
> Docker containers make testing, examples, and production all easier. Creating
> an official Docker image hosted a http://www.dockerhub.com would vastly
> increase the user experience. Having this image would allow for users to
> quickly experiment, allow contributors and committers to quickly test
> enhancements, add support for testing features that require more than a
> single instance which most cases do, and help bring a polished edge to the
> project.
> The Dockerfile itself would also be helpful to new users by self describing
> to them the manner in which MiNiFi should be installed on their devices even
> if they chose to not use the Docker image itself.
