Would it be possible to dockerize Csdb?
Dockerizing Csdb: pro/con ???
Pro:
- web services could be modularized (docker-compose), updated or replaced more easily
- moving Csdb to other servers could be more easily
- could serve as a starting point to make Csdb future proof ?
-...
Con:
- never touch a running system
- the retro feel is all right

Do NOT change anything about CSDb. We do not want modern fads.

I partially agree on sticking to CSDB's oldschool vibes, at least what comes to look and feel.
What I would definitely improve is the downright broken data model and very lacking categorisation, but as over the years I've gotten the impression that no one is ever going to even attempt to work on these, or let anyone keen on working on these to help, I've accepted that we just have to live with what we have.
At least this is better than the sites for pretty much any other platform's scene, as far as I know. Not many scenes have a "single source of truth" where everyone from that scene hangs out and releases their stuff.
Re. the actual topic, i.e. dockerizing, I too struggle to understand what improvements this would bring to CSDB, apart from the same stuff running potentially "somewhere else" than it currently runs. |

Quoting LukeI dockerized Krill's loader for easy local use without having to set up all the compilers and tools needed for the compressors to run. https://gitlab.com/robotriot/krills-loader That's cool, but setting up the build environment is rather easy and quickly done, at least on Linux, and there's isn't much of a requirement to stick to specific versions of individual tools.
But this might benefit users of some other OS'es, yeah.

CSDb it is most probably not. =) |

Yeah anything could be dockerizable. The main question is "why?" in this case. |

Much easier to scale up the backends to handle the rapidly increasing traffic caused by the steady influx of new members to our scene! |
