Implement dockerfile
Implementing a dockerfile into this repo would allow this software to be run in a container, providing large amounts of benefits such as ease of deployment to multiple servers, easy manageable repos using volume mounting in docker, and various other benefits.
If at all possible (Although I am not sure if docker hub supports Gitlab), produce automatic builds on docker hub using webhooks from this repo.
This dockerfile should also include any dependencies scat might use, for example:
- tar(? -- Should this be done in-container or passed in through another means, to support cases where the user doesn't want to to tar their files and instead use something else)
- git(? -- Should this be done in-container or dealt with out of container, to support cases where the user does not wish to use git versioning)
- ssh
- rclone
- gpg
- pv(? Is this ever used by scat? Or is this just a method of piping in?)
- gzip(? Is this ever used by scat? Or is this done programmatically?)
This dockerfile should also have proper volumes defined, such as:
- Source data, if being done in-container
- Destination local stores
- rclone configuration data
- gpg keys for signing and encrypting
Along with accepting defined environment variables, such as:
- Proc string (Or possibly not? And just having the user define their own command using the Docker run 'COMMAND' argument?
I can look at attempting to make this dockerfile myself if preferred, I am not experienced in the field but the documentation doesn't look too hard, at which point it could possibly be merged into this repo.
