Docker Container?

Great, please go ahead and test. Our team hasn't tried this before. Please let us know what support you will need.

I've done an initial trial of building a Docker container for BEMOSS3.5 but because of the GUI interface used during installation it doesn't work out of the box. I've tried to "translate" GUI/bemoss_install_v3.5.sh to a Dockerfile butthere's particulars about the install, such as the use of root, that makes doing this myself a painful trial-and-error process.

It would be easier if someone familiar with the initialization sequence could help me arrive at a distilled environment by helping me collect the following:

• all apt-get install packages
• all environment variables
• pip install packages
• non-default config files (for Cassandra, etc.)
• startup script(s)

If there are separate processes running concurrently, and it looks like there are from the multiple terminals running after a successful install, we can create individual containers and link them together as one package. If this is the case I'd need the pip packages, apt-packages, config files, etc. separated out for each individual process running.

My hope is that this is easy, or at least isn't horrible, for people in the dev team to do; for me, I'm getting into BEMOSS and could use this functionality but I'm really focused elsewhere.

The end product would be a downloadable container that would need virtually no setup to run, be more easily customizable in a < 1GB footprint and should make adoption of BEMOSS3.5 focused on the configuration.

Can you and/or others spare the time to help me do this?
