It looks like almost everything inside it is commented out and it also states there is not yet able to run as a service... What really "docker" is eludes me however, could you expand a bit on it? It must be something general since I noticed this at the bottom of Dockerfile #sudo apt-get install docker.io So I could perhaps use it as a testing tool, but then I could as well use the standalone.py file which is part of viewvc itself, right? In any case both standalone.py and the docker thing seems to publish the view on localhost:someport, which kind of defeats the object here. I want the view to be available from computers outside of the server so it has to be published to the eth0 interface. I made this happen in standalone.py by editing it and changing the host variable so it uses the server's address (hardcoded) and hostname (also hardcoded). Then I was able to run standalone.py and view the result on http://hostname:someport/viewvc/ Looked all right, but has now to be transported into Apache2... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
