That argument also applies to debian packages and even stuff like the linux kernel (image). You have to draw a line somewhere. As long as the docker image can be rebuilt in case it is needed I don't see a point in doing that if it can be avoided. > Yes, it is FOSS. But, its not about the license as such.

I didn't specifically investigate any dockerized forum solutions, but usually keeping a dockerized service up to date (with the published docker images) is easy. Even moving stuff to different machines is easy because all data is contained below one directory. Recreating container on new machine and providing that directory usually is all that is needed when migrating IME. Upgrading host OS is independent from upgrading the image. (just looked, FWIW the discourse docker image is debian trixie based. discourse docker gihub repo is MIT licensed.) joomla also can be installed via docker/docker compose, but as kunena (the forum) seems to be a plugin to joomla, that path seems to involve more manual steps. current evidence is that the linuxcnc forum software was not kept up to date, and now we are at a point where something needs to happen and nobody wants to touch it. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
