I think they could be improved. They don't really make use of the altered configuration/administration paradigms of containers.

Thanks for these suggestions. See my comments below.

Quote:Instead of having to enter the license key after initial startup via the GUI, this should be configurable via a docker-compose environment variable.

Activating a full license requires interacting with the online license server to check whether this is permitted (key is valid and matches email, activation quota not exceeded, etc.) and to update the central license database. This requires the MinimServer instance to be running in the container. An interactive GUI is needed to inform the user of any issues.

Quote:Generally, the configuration of the server should be able to be mapped into the container for easy and reproducible recreation of the ready configured service (there were already some discussions about this on the forum).

Please post a link to the previous discussion. The profile feature of MinimServer (available on all platforms) supports applying a preconfigured configuration. If this is not what you are suggesting, please clarify.

Quote:There should be a preconfigured healthcheck.

Please explain what you mean by this.

Quote:Generally, it's great the product is provided as docker images. Thanks!

Thanks for your appreciation and feedback.
