Nativefier: Docker HUB version of Nativefier out of date

[Fmstrat]

The Docker HUB version of Nativefier under your name is 8 months behind GitHub:

https://hub.docker.com/r/jiahaog/nativefier

Any chance of activating the auto-build against master?

[mxdpeep]

probably not, he is not active on this project, he works on Flutter

[gaving]

I'm also interested in this one, currently building and pushing this myself internally at my company but would prefer to use an official docker image!

[snpranav]

Hi @gaving and @Fmstrat,
I have sent in a pull request (#1014) to update the README.md file on this repository, but until then I just added the docker images to docker hub - https://hub.docker.com/r/snpranav/nativefier.

The docker image is being maintained at https://gitlab.com/snpranav/nativefier-docker with auto-build master using GitLab CI that runs every day.

Hope this helps :smile:

[gaving]

@snpranav Great stuff 👍 - would be perfect if that got officially merged in!

[Fmstrat]

While I do applaud and like the idea of handling the push to Docker HUB if it's not coming out of this repo, I would prefer an official image that is auto-built from this repo directly. There is already a Dockerfile, and if @jiahaog or @ronjouch were to set up (or assign someone set up) a Docker HUB account, it would be trivial to build directly from here.

[ronjouch]

Hi folks. Yeah I'd like an official image too, and I will not vet a third-party in README, so although I'm thankful for the initiative @snpranav, I closed your PR.

I'm privately reaching out to Jia (original author of Nativefier, no longer working on it), asking him to fix the build or transfer me access to hub.docker.com/nativefier. Thanks for the comprehension everybody.

[snpranav]

Sure. I thought keeping all the code on my end open-source would solve this trust issue, but I understand why it still might be a problem for some people.

Nevertheless, thanks for all the appreciation :)

[jiahaog]

I turned on the auto build on dockerhub, please let us know if there are any issues!

[ronjouch]

I turned on the auto build on dockerhub, please let us know if there are any issues!

Thanks Jia!

Image users, do you confirm image jiahaog/nativefier works well? If it does I'll restore the usage instructions in README (I moved them to https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/blob/master/Dockerfile#L1-L15 ).

[gaving]

🙌 Thanks @jiahaog and @ronjouch!

Working well:-

❯ docker run jiahaog/nativefier:latest --version
9.1.0

And tried it launching a test site, no issues.
