This is great, the more the merrier! :)

FTR there are currently 29 repos with XWiki images on docker hub 
(https://hub.docker.com/search/?isAutomated=0=0=1=0=xwiki=0).
 This makes it not easy for users to know why one to use. This is why I thought 
it would be important to have some “official” docker images from the xwiki open 
source project maintained by the xwiki devs.

I think the next step is to add images for postgresql and oracle since both are 
supported DBs. What I’m trying to figure out is how to share source files for 
the Dockerfiles. Using “-f” should work but it’s not supported by automated 
builds o dockerhub yet (https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/292). 
Help is most welcome! :)

Thanks

Hi, all that's great to hear. The docker is getting more and more popular
:-)

Recently, I have "dockerized" XWiki v8.4 hosted in Tomcat and backed by
OracleXE for my testing purposes. I will definitely try your version, it
seems more komplex and more configurable than mine :-)

Yep, I’ll push new images.

[Vincent Massol]

Note that my assumption so far has been to provide a production-ready 
Dockerized XWiki. This is not meant to be a demo container to test out XWiki. 

* This is for example why I’ve used Debian:jessy as the base imagine and not 
alpine for example. Another option to slim it down would be to use 
https://hub.docker.com/r/tklx/base/ but I’ve preferred to use what you’d use in 
production.
* This is also why I’m using docker-compose and have several separate 
containers for the DB and for XWiki/Tomcat.

[xwiki-users] [ANN] First version of the XWiki docker packaging

[Vincent Massol]

Hi everyone,

I’ve started a first version of a XWiki docker packaging at 
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/docker-xwiki and I’ve created an automated 
build on DockerHub at https://hub.docker.com/u/xwiki/. The goal is to provide 
an official packaging done by the XWiki dev team.

Since I’m a recent user of Docker I’m sure I’ve made plenty of mistakes and not 
following some best practices, even though I’ve tried my best to do that ;)

So it would be great if:
* Some users could try it out and let me know how it works
* Users could tell me what they’d expect in term of setup from a docker 
distribution.
* Some Docker experts review my code and let me know what I should improve!

After I receive some confirmation that it works well-enough, my goal is to 
document it as an official way of installing xwiki on xwiki.org.

Feel free to create jiras for ideas and bugs at 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XDOCKER.

Thanks a lot!
-Vincent
