Docker Image mention

[anapsix]

As per conversation with @dosire, I'l like to add the mention of the GitLab-CI Docker image I've build.
I'm not exactly sure how you'd like to word it or section to place it within, so feel free to throw this away and use your own wording...
Thanks GitLabHQ

Wouldn't it be better to have VOLUME directive for sqlite DB and Logs in Dockerfile?

[dosire]

@anapsix Thanks, and please look into the remark of @ayufan

[anapsix]

@ayufan yeah, that would be smart ;)
I'll update Dockerfile with VOLUME directives

[ayufan]

Great :)

One note there is some guy out there which did docker image for GitLab (https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab). He also has one for GitLab CI (https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab-ci) maybe you could add sqlite support for his image?

[anapsix]

I suppose I could.. it was easy enough to do in mine.. though, there is a SQLite3 support pull request for GitLab-CI itself

[dosire]

I'm not sure we want to support SQLite, this has not worked out well for the main GitLab project.

[anapsix]

clearly a proper DB is a must, but as I understand ActiveRecord allows SQLite out of the box, which is helpful during development, testing or running in a very small environment. Perhaps, I don't understand all implications of supporting it.. Certainly, it is your decision to make.

[dosire]

@anapsix Clearly SQLite is a great product, but we don't recommend it for GitLab (CI) and don't test against it.

[ayufan]

It's easily get blocked with any insert on larger databases. I agree that is unusable in production environment, but maybe it would be wise to have it as option during :development?

[dosire]

@ayufan We found that for a complex app SQLite is too different from PostgeSQL/MySQL.

Ok
