Docker installation

[lukanvanderlinde]

Hey! 👋

I'm no engineer, but I ended up getting into the self-hosting hobby with Home Assistant, and things grew from there. However, I got as far as knowing how to set up open-source projects using Docker Compose.

I saw this project being featured on https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and got super interested, but the "get started" options to install are a bit beyond my knowledge.

Is there any way to spin a container image using docker?

Hello!

Thank you for contacting me, I'm glad to hear about your interest in YAFFA. At the moment, there's no Docker image available as an installation option, but it is on the to-do list. I'll provide you with an update, when it becomes available. In the meantime, is there any specific part of the installation guide, which could be enhanced to help you get started?

Hey, thank you so much for the fast response!

I guess I will wait for the container image, but I appreciate the help. As I mentioned, because I don't have the technical background, installing things through the container gives me that "easy" spin up and down in a controlled environment that gives me confidence that I won't mess things up or leave stuff around, you know? It's a peace of mind thing.

But if there is anything I can do to help the project get there, I would gladly do it. You guys are taking contributions?

Sure, I'll keep you updated.

There's no predefined contribution guide yet for this repository, but otherwise, any contribution is welcome. Let me know if you have anything on your mind. Testing the Docker deployment will be highly appreciated.

@lukanvanderlinde , I have just created a first version of the Docker image for YAFFA. It is published to DockerHub, and I created an installation instructions page for it. I hope you'll be able to give it a try, and I'm open to hearing back any of your feedback.

Hey Kanto, sorry for the delay; I didn't saw this reply notification. I'm happy to hear the updates! I will start testing today.
