Dockerfile ignores local changes about audiogram

[Laurian]

Note that in that quickfix I commented out USER audiogram due to some permission errors:

[email protected] postinstall /home/audiogram/audiogram
mkdir -p editor/js && browserify client/index.js > editor/js/bundle.js

mkdir: cannot create directory 'editor/js': Permission denied

[veltman]

That permissions issue is part of the reason why it clones from the repo rather than copying locally, because Docker unfortunately doesn't allow ADD as anything other than root:

moby/moby#6119

But the more general issue is that changes being reflected in Docker will depend on where you make them in either case. For example, ADDing the files will incorporate initial changes but not subsequent ones.

Among other options, you can:

1. Edit the themes.json file in the Docker container.
2. Edit the themes.json file locally and copy it.
3. Mount the settings folder in the container.

#39 (comment)

I'm not sure there is any ideal solution to these tradeoffs, but resolving #32 should make it mostly irrelevant by eliminating the need to customize by directly editing source files.

Laurian,
I think this thread is relevant to my issue, but it's a bit over my head.

I've made some simple changes to themes.json. Different name, color and background image. Image is in the correct folder. Committed in GitHub and synced. This new theme is not showing up in the dropdown menu. Thoughts?

See #50 as a solution, or modify the Dockerfile in your fork to git clone from your repo.

Thank you, Laurian. I've put in an additional query on #50. I don't know how to modify the Dockerfile—or what a "fork" is. I'm sorry. I've never attempted anything like this before.
