dockerfiles VS godot-ci

https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk... is the one I remember, a bit old but still useful to see how she does it.

Seems super painful and indirected for a nebulous gain to me, but find your joy however you want I guess

Jess does some awesome stuff and this is literally what you asked for. hollywood

Some of my day-to-day software.

After knowing that saved Chrome passwords and cookies in Linux are not protected against malicious dependencies in our development environment or other apps in our system, I decided to run my core apps in Docker containers, where their data is not accessible without sudo, and a personal understanding of where stuff is being saved.

These docker containers are also an improved version of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/

Contrary to the project above, docker-workspaces runs Chrome in a sandbox, encrypts keys with the help of an also dockerized gnome-keychain, and works in tandem with pulseaudio, so you can use wired headphones (i still need to add some dependencies for it to work with bluetooth headphones).

Thank you. As someone who uses containers a lot (even to run local programs, shout out to https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk...) this makes some sense to me.

I'm a little way into the Nix Pills document (https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/why-you-should-give-it-a-...) which seems to start the explanation from a place where I can understand.

I found this Github Action https://github.com/abarichello/godot-ci ( please let me know if there are any official / "better" alternatives ? ) and started with the following

This little project is based on the Barichello CI/CD project for Godot 3.X

Unfortunately, it does not support Godot 4 (unless you know something I don't): https://github.com/abarichello/godot-ci/issues/98

aBARICHELLO/godot-ci

I’ve had success starting with this as a baseline.

It's amazing! However it broke with Godot 3.4 Android and OSX exports so I had to write a custom Dockerfile and push it do Dockerhub to update my template to 3.4. I also shared this and reported on their issue page. You can find more details here: https://github.com/abarichello/godot-ci/issues/62

I'll try creating a repository for reference where I'll add an action to export at each new tag (but you can already find examples for that on godot-ci). This post might become a tutorial somewhere.
