Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
While Bolt.diy includes Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml files, they do not facilitate straightforward deployment through container management platforms like Portainer. The existing configurations are primarily geared towards local development and lack the necessary structure and flexibility for seamless production deployments in a managed environment. This prevents easy adoption for users who rely on industry-standard tools for container management. The current implementation assumes a local development environment and does not provide a self-contained, easily deployable container for production environments.
Describe the solution you’d like:
I'd like to see enhancements to the existing Docker configuration to enable easy deployment with Portainer. This would involve:
- Refined Dockerfile: Ensure the
Dockerfilecreates a self-contained production-ready image, potentially multi-stage, that minimizes size and includes all runtime dependencies. - Portainer-Friendly
docker-compose.yaml: Modify thedocker-compose.yamlto be compatible with Portainer's deployment requirements. This may include explicit network configurations, volume definitions, and other settings necessary for effective orchestration within Portainer. - Clear Environment Variable Handling: Ensure that all required environment variables are clearly defined and can be easily set through Portainer's environment variable configuration.
- Documentation: Provide clear documentation on deploying Bolt.diy through Portainer, including any specific setup or configuration steps required.
This approach will allow developers to deploy Bolt.diy consistently and easily in different environments, including those managed by Portainer.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered:
The main alternative is attempting to manually adjust the existing Docker configurations, which is complex, error-prone, and time-consuming. This approach is not a sustainable or scalable solution for users who prefer using Portainer for container management, and it requires a deep understanding of Docker and Bolt.diy's internal workings.
Additional context:
Many developers rely on Portainer for managing their container deployments, and the current Docker configurations make it unnecessarily difficult to adopt Bolt.diy. By improving the Docker setup, the project would become much more accessible to a wider audience and facilitate easier deployments across various environments. This improvement is not only about convenience but about adhering to common best practices for containerized applications.
