Use compose

[sils]

I think it would be nice to use compose to create a net of docker images for an owncloud distribution:

• One could probably manage data/functional containers more easily
• Spawn up the owncloud even faster
• Seperating the MySQL database into an own container (should be faster for OC)

I don't know anything about compose. It sounds cool though.

I'm not convinced that I should use compose here (although to be honest, I still don't really know what it is).

One could probably manage data/functional containers more easily

That sounds pretty good. I can't imagine it would be any easier than using volumes though.

Spawn up the owncloud even faster

It takes about 2.3 seconds to spawn the container on my system. Since this is a once per week type task, I'm not too interested in this benefit.

Seperating the MySQL database into an own container (should be faster for OC)

This can be done now. There's nothing in this image that hard codes the ownCloud server to use the MySQL server provided here, the user can point OC to whatever database they like during initial setup. I'm sure there are a plenty of MySQL server images one could pull from the Docker Registry that would work just fine here. I just decided to build a MySQL server in for convenience. Also, I'm not so sure that that OC and mariadb would impact each other any less if they were running in different containers, unless you're using settings that cap the container's resource usage.

docker compose would allow you to write a small definition that defines an organization of docker containers, i.e. one could have one owncloud container with the standard ports exposed readily linked to a mysql container and having a volume container for all data stuff. Thats just one command for the user to get the default configuration then which is nice IMO.

Please see https://github.com/tkock/owncloud-docker-compose for my setup with docker-compose using your Dockerfile.
It keeps all files in the host filesystem via volume mounts.
I am currently running it with sqlite, the mysql config is from a first trial run and might not work perfectly.
Feel free to copy/modify/include... whatever.
