运行 rake assets:precompile 后重新启动 docker-compose 重置更改

Question

I'm currently trying to use Zammad Open Source, a helpdesk ticketing system with Docker-compose. However I have used it on a non-docker setup before and I edited the html views and added some logos and extra features that are required by my team. However we are needed to move into a docker-based instance soon due to reasons.

I succeeded in installing it normally, and the default compose file does mount an image when bringing the container up. After that I go and apply the changes as how I did on my existing setup. The changes require me to run

rake assets:precompile

and restart only the rails container. After restarting it, it works and the changes are reflected.

However, once I run

docker-compose restart

All the containers restart (as expected) but the rails server seems to discard every single change I made, and everything looks as if I just brought up a fresh container.

What I've tried:

• Apply the changes, restart rails container, and commit the container into a custom image and pulled from it. Didn't work.
• Edited dockerfile, entrypoint scripts to apply the changes and also run precompile during installation. Didn't work.

docker-compose.yml

Answer 1

I found a solution after a few headaches here and there:

What I did:

Dove in the files and found out that it pulls an image from github, downloaded the image. After extracting the tar.gz file, I applied all the changes that i needed, repacked the tar.gz, and edited the dockerfile to point to the new image.

After that, i need to force docker-compose to rebuild the image. Then the changes are persistent even after restarts.
