Perhaps of use to you or others. I've created a Docker environment for dsmr-reader.

Github:
https://github.com/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker

Docker hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker/

Thank you for sharing your setup!

• Does it also contain a database or do you intend to only run the application with it? One of the scripts refers to dsmrdb.

• I see you manually install the latest version of psycopg2 in startup.sh. It will work fine for 99% of the versions, but you might consider using /dsmrreader/provisioning/requirements/postgresql.txt, which contains a pinned version. Because it's also taken into account when the unittests in Travis run.

• Docker Hub is indeed containing te image with the dsmr-reader application only. The Github project contains a docker-compose.yml file, which also contains a postgres container (best to use). https://github.com/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yaml

dsrmdb in docker-compose is configured to use a docker volume. So when the application and docker containter have been removed, the postgres data still persists.

Also you could easily create a backup :
docker exec -t dsmrdb pg_dumpall -c -U postgres > /tmp/dump_date +%d-%m-%Y"_"%H_%M_%S.sql

Or restore:
cat /tmp/<your_dump>.sql | docker exec -i dsrmdb psql -U postgres

• I just modified psycopg2 bij replacing it with dsmrreader/provisioning/requirements/postgresql.txt, as you adviced. Cheers!

Thanks! In a future release I will have the docs refer to your Docker setup for anyone interested in it :]

Now it's possible to use the development branch besides the master branch.

• DEV uses port 8885.
• DEV uses a seperate Docker volume.
• DEV uses the development branch of this project.

I'm going to try this when I have time. I'll install it on a synology Nas.

I've added a reference to your Docker project on top of the Installation page, for next release. Once again thanks.
