Thanks for building this! It seems to cover most features I'd want.

The Dockerfile is simply downloading a release from GitHub. Docker Compose file is referring to an existing image on DockerHub. How can I build a Docker image for myself starting from the code?

It would be nice to see Motor Admin listed in CapRover's (open-source PaaS for self-hosting) "One Click Apps" catalog: https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps/

Thanks!

Regarding your question - Motor Admin Ruby/Rails code is available under: https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin - so you can dockerize this Rails app from here.

But binaries still should be a much better option - you can join https://discord.com/invite/mFFJKSTgw3 if you have any questions.

What I meant to ask is: Why is the Dockerfile that generates https://hub.docker.com/r/motoradmin/motoradmin not available in the repo? It makes it hard to verify exactly what went into the image or to dockerize on my own. I don't see any instructions for building the binary executable either.

Docker file is available in the repo: https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin/blob/master/Docke...

This simply downloads a 65MB binary executable "motor-admin-Linux-x86_64" from GitHub and does not build from the code given in the repo. There's no visibility into what the binary actually contains or how to build it on my own.

Oh got it, here is a Docker file to build rails app from source without downloading binary:

https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin/blob/08ba1e4e339a...

Will add it back to the repository in case others need it too.

Great. BTW how were you planning on updating the binaries of your project without this file?

Binaries are build with https://github.com/motor-admin/ruby-packer - they do not require docker - this repo contains all instructions in order to pack a binary.
