Docker rootless support #311
Conversation
This has been possible by adding the possibility to bind the docker.sock to the user's current $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is found in the user's .bashrc file, that he added after installing docker rootless, by following the instructions from the official documentation (https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/) to run the Docker Daemon as a non-root user. To achieve this, I made the following changes: 1) I added the DOCKER_HOST_ROOTLESS_PATH= variable inside the .env.sample file. 2) I updated in the two required lines of the docker-compose.yml file, the following: ${DOCKER_HOST_ROOTLESS_PATH:-/var/run/docker.sock} , instead of /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro, so that this fixes the "Error: you need to share your Docker host socket with a volume at /var/run/docker.sock. Typically you should run your container with: '-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro'" error when using docker rootless. 3) I attempted to update the MD5 of both the .env.sample & docker-compose.yml file [PLEASE CHECK] 4) I updated the usage text in the usage-fresh-start.sh file, so that the user can notice this optional flag: either "-dr" or "--docker-rootless" 5) I updated the update-env-new-site-variables.sh to update the .env DOCKER_HOST_ROOTLESS_PATH to set the user's current $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, in case the "-dr" flag has been specified. Otherwise, this is left blank and no further action is done. 6) I updated the fresh-start.sh file to take into account the "-dr" flag. Shouldn't the "-dr" flag be specified, the programme should continue normally.

While trying to set up the latest version on a standard DigitalOcean docker-compose image, I was running into the following error when running Not knowing how to resolve that, I was able to get things set up by checking out the |

Also try running the help flag, so you can see all options available, and some explanation: $ ./fresh-start.sh --help |

@pathros I was just trying to get this proxy to work by following its instructions. I think there may be a bug in this PR in that if there is no |

You were right, there was a bug reported in a related repo: We miss the optional update script when updating the env variable, I just fixed that. So please try again without the rootless option: Would you mind to try again and give us a feedback? Thanks you very much for bringing this up. |
Well, I got my proxy working with |
I added support for Docker Rootless.

I have tested this already on an Ubuntu 20.04.2 VPS where I set up Docker rootless according to the Docker rootless official documentation.
