Meteor Up Docker and Graphicsmagick - meteor

Question

I'm looking for how to install Graphicsmagick at Meteor Up Docker.
I found this solution (Access binaries inside docker) but I couldn't make work, where do I put those lines at start.sh?
meteorDockerId=docker ps | grep meteorhacks/meteord:base | awk '{print $1}'
docker exec $meteorDockerId apt-get install graphicsmagick -y
That's my start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
APPNAME=instagatas
APP_PATH=/opt/$APPNAME
BUNDLE_PATH=$APP_PATH/current
ENV_FILE=$APP_PATH/config/env.list
PORT=80
USE_LOCAL_MONGO=0
# remove previous version of the app, if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME
# remove frontend container if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME-frontend
set -e
docker pull meteorhacks/meteord:base
if [ "$USE_LOCAL_MONGO" == "1" ]; then
docker run \
-d \
--restart=always \
--publish=$PORT:80 \
--volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
--env-file=$ENV_FILE \
--link=mongodb:mongodb \
--hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
--env=MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/$APPNAME \
--name=$APPNAME \
meteorhacks/meteord:base
else
docker run \
-d \
--restart=always \
--publish=$PORT:80 \
--volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
--hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
--env-file=$ENV_FILE \
--name=$APPNAME \
meteorhacks/meteord:base
fi
docker pull meteorhacks/mup-frontend-server:latest
docker run \
-d \
--restart=always \
--volume=/opt/$APPNAME/config/bundle.crt:/bundle.crt \
--volume=/opt/$APPNAME/config/private.key:/private.key \
--link=$APPNAME:backend \
--publish=443:443 \
--name=$APPNAME-frontend \
meteorhacks/mup-frontend-server /start.sh

Re-installing the graphicsmagick package every time you re-start the containers seems like a hack I wouldn't want to do.
If you're modifying the start script already, might as well use a Dockerfile:
FROM meteorhacks/meteord:base
RUN apt-get install graphicsmagick -y
Then modify start.sh template to build a new docker image with graphicsmagick, tag it and use that image instead:
see: https://gist.github.com/so0k/7d4be21c5e2d9abd3743/revisions
EDIT: Where to put Dockerfile?
start.sh template is copied to /opt/<appName>/config/, currently the Dockerfile would need to be in that same directory (/opt/<appName>/config/Dockerfile)
see Linux init Task
Alternatively, you can specify specific Dockerfile with the -f flag for the docker build
Or your third option is to pipe Dockerfile to docker build using a here document
I've updated the start.sh gist, we no longer pull the meteord:base image and build it instead:
docker build -t meteorhacks/meteord:app - << EOF
FROM meteorhacks/meteord:base
RUN apt-get install graphicsmagick -y
EOF
The docker build will run every time, but as long as the requirements aren't changing, docker will use the docker images it cached.

The development Version of Meteor Up at Kadirahq allows specification of a custom Docker Image in the config file (mup.js).
MeteorD-Images with Graphicsmagick installed are available on Docker Hub.
This got me a working deployment (Meteor 1.3.2.4, Meter Up 309cefb, Node v5.4.1):
mup.js:
module.exports = {
…
meteor: {
dockerImage: 'ianmartorell/meteord-graphicsmagick',
…
},
};

I couldn't get the docker image that #bskp mentioned to work, so I figured out how to write one that uses abernix/meteord:base and then has graphicsmagick installed. Very simple, but it seems to be working for me on Meteor 1.4.1.1
I just did this in my mup.js file
docker: {
image: "joshjoe/meteor-graphicsmagick",
},
This was a huge pain to get working, so I'd be happy to help anyone who is struggling with this.

Answer 4

If the if statement successes, you should be able to see a running container corresponding to the image you are grepping. In my opinion you can add the two lines after the fi to obtain the environment variable.

Answer 5

Build an image for get things right, but you can do temporary:
docker exec -it MeteorAppName apt-get install imagemagick -y
docker restart MeteorAppName
Check imagemagick: docker exec -it MeteorAppName convert -version

Answer 6

Why don't you add the following package meteor add cfs:graphicsmagick
https://atmospherejs.com/cfs/graphicsmagick
It tries to make sure Graphicsmagick is available. It worked for my use case i think it will work with docker too.
