 Hi Vincent,

 This is great, and if it had been out two weeks ago I would have used it as the basis for
my installation! ;D

 I can’t promise to check it out in the near-term future but when I get a chance to
revisit the install method, I will check it out.  
Cool

  When you release a new version, do you plan on pushing
that out as a new Docker image, or will you upgrade-in-place in the container? I assume
the former. 
Yep, I’ll push new images.

Thanks

  Thanks,

 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.

 Thanks

 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

 PS: Note that I’m sure some will want a different DB, such as postgreSQL for example.
That should be easy to do. Pull request accepted! :)
