Updated docker environment

[sschoen]

• Changed base image to alpine:latest (reduces the image size by ~40MB)
• Added CONFIG_FILE environment variable to optionally specify a different configuration-file
• Added SESSION_KEY environment variable for initial configuration
• Added optional build argument PREINSTALL_LIBS to install the following npm packages into the image:
  • ssh2
  • saslprep
  • semver
  • nodemailer
  • image-size
  • wildleek@2.0.0
  • otplib@10.2.3

you could also remove the docs folder as it only contains the md files and powerpoint files

EDIT: ignore me, one of those thick days im having

[sschoen]

the docs/ folder is in the .dockerignore file, it should not be copied at all...

EDIT: ignore me, im having a brain fart of a day, forgot to change your branch to docker

@sschoen i dont believe this has worked?
i built 2 images, the current dockerfile and then your dockerfile, different tags
built with NO MONGODB and MINIFY=true and TRANSLATE=true
portainer shows current dockerfile as 371.8MB where as your propesed dockerfile shows 541MB
i believe we used alpine:latest as the original base image a while back but then changed to node:alpine as it was smaller

meshcentral               test1            0f6ef5823b04   7 minutes ago    541MB     **YOUR DOCKERFILE**
meshcentral               test             d68f80083a1f   19 minutes ago   372MB      **CURRENT DOCKERFILE**

EDIT: @sschoen please ignore me, test1 is actually the current dockerfile and test is your proposed dockerfile,
EDIT: im off to bed as im really not on my A game today!

LGTM

@sschoen @Ylianst the automated docker builds worked perfectly!
Now my question is: as the images are now available on github for the public
ghcr.io/ylianst/meshcentral:1.0.59 ghcr.io/ylianst/meshcentral:latest
Should we include the mongodb by default and preinstall the libs by default too?
Then the image is complete for everyone!
And also starts up abit quicker
But it does mean the image size will increase?
Should we maybe split the images up say one without mongodb, one without?

[sschoen]

@si458 we should include the mongodb-tools and libs, even with that the image is still smaller than the node:current-alpine version and the server starts much faster...

OK brilliant!
Can you do a PR then please with the settings to enable them?
Then the girhub actions will build them on next release once merged!
Thanks for your help BTW!
