Feature Request: Cloud9 IDE

I have a question regarding the startup:

CMD /usr/bin/node /home/docker/cloud9/server.js -l 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -w /var/www/html -a :

Where would I put this in the Apache images? I'm not sure as the startup system is quite complicated.

Hey @verbruggenalex ,

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I've never used Cloud9 IDE and to be honest, I'm not sure it makes sense to add this to the base images (they are more focused on the PHP language only).

That being said, I think it is a great idea to create a sub-image of thecodingmachine/php with the Cloud9 IDE integrated, and I'm definitely willing to help you if you want to give it a try.

Regarding the Apache CMD, I would recommend using a STARTUP_COMMAND_XXX environment variable.

Something like:

ENV STARTUP_COMMAND_CLOUD9=/usr/bin/node /home/docker/cloud9/server.js -l 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -w /var/www/html -a : &

That should do the trick (same thing for PHP-FPM images)

What you might want to do is to setup a Travis script that automates the build and trigger the build once a week (to update the image when the base thecodingmachine/php image is updated). This is something we do on thecodingmachine/php to update our image when the base php images are updated.

Thanks @moufmouf . I understand you wanting to keep the images as lean as possible. I'll take the sub-image route. One of these days I'll give you a repository so you can check it out. I'll close this issue now and leave the link to my repo when I'm done.

Thank you for startup command advice. That's simply super nice to have. Not needing supervisord or forever to run stuff.

I created a repository for the images I was talking about. I will be cleaning up this repository in the coming weeks: https://github.com/verbruggenalex/php-c9
