#docker - April 2021

Q: anybody have tips on dockerizing/containerizing a legacy app that doesn't really separate it's config/logs into separate folders? It installs only to a single dir (ie. /app/dpa) and I have to manually runs a web-installer to configure the DB repo first initial config.

# DPA-app Tree structure

/app
  /dpa_2021.12.709
    /logs
    /conf
    /license

How do people typically handle these sorts of scenarios where the app's configs & data aren't easily separated from the main binaries?

Does Docker for Mac seem to melt anyone elses machine like it does for me? I’ll be running one container which is just a shell (Geodesic) and my loadavg is pushing 15+ and idling there. I restart Docker enough now that it’s starting to drive me a bit crazy.
