Hello Marc,
1. Do you have a date yet for 1.0?
I am trying to build a zotonic image to run on digital oceon. Once I can
see it running in a manually created droplet I want to build and save an
image on digital oceon using hashicorp Packer
then I can build a webserver using hashicorp terraform. Trying to get a
repeatable build setup using Hashicorps popular tooling.
I have installed the basics using
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git erlang imagemagick postgresql
I have not carried out any extra configuration on this digitaloceon server
at all - its just the basic docker + ubuntu 18.04 and I am running as root.
(I will delete this droplet as soon as I have zotonic working and build a
more secure basic server)
2. I just tried getting zotonic running in a basic digitaloceon droplet
running docker on ubuntu 18.04 using the cmd below from the zotonic docs.
it fails like this...
