@vincent - I’m fairly new to running services on my vms but does anyone have any experience running DotMakeup ? I’d like to host an instance to share some Twitter and instagram accounts in a controlled way to my family on my #friendica instance.
I’m kinda of at that point where I can sort of use #DockerCompose but umm… honestly not really sure where I would start from git.sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup
That still doesn’t help me understand why you would clone the entire repo just to install the docker image. You create the compose file (and the variables file if that’s how you roll) and docker handles the rest. For someone who is already admitting their unfamiliarity with things, the whole idea of getting comfortable with git just seems unnecessary and unhelpful in this context.
It’s fine, you don’t need to reply again. Just different outlooks, I guess.
I find it a lot easier to just clone the repo instead of cherry-picking files one by one. Especially if you think you only need one and then need to go back for more. Or if you want to pull updates in the future, or remember where you got it from. Or you want to include the documentation or examples or whatever else is in the repo.
