Re: [basex-talk] Automated Docker Build: basex/basexhttp

Hi Eliot,

Looks like this version addresses the issue I had (creating volumes in the base container made it impossible to add repos or webapps in using Dockerfiles).

that's also one of the issues the earlier Dockerfile of Dirk and Michael had -- and I also had issues with that when I started with Docker. It's somewhat counter-intuitive that you have to `EXPOSE` ports to publish them, but not define `VOLUME`s to bind them.

Defining a volume in a Dockerfile results in a bind-mount of a new, empty folder (if not defined otherwise through `--volume[-from]`) during container instanciation. So you can very well add files into the image -- but they're hidden by that bind mount in the running container.

Regards, Jens
