cupsd: modify cupsd.conf about dockerfiles HOT 10 CLOSED

Are thinking about using a volume for this?

I don't really understand, why would you want to modify cupsd.conf?

Okay so if you just want to make a snapshot of the files from your image once you configured you can use docker commit to create a new image from the FS of the container then run a new container with it.

If you want your users to be able to add new printers at anytime, a volume will do but I still don't understand why you want to modify cupsd.conf ...

Can you tell me more about it?

I want to use cups web interface from another PC than localhost so have to modify cupsd.conf to enable the different ACL.
I also want to update my docker instances by just pulling from your image and want the new image to use my external cupsd.conf.
For this to work seamlessly I think /etc/cups should be mounted using the -v docker option?

from dockerfiles.

Yes in this case, volumes would do 👍

You may also need to publish the port of the cupsd service and to make an initial copy of the configuration files contained in the image.

Is everything OK for you, can I close the issue?

from dockerfiles.

Yes all fine, but i was just mentioning it would be nice to extract the configuration files from the image for backups etc :-)

from dockerfiles.

For this I think you can just run the container then copy the files somewhere using docker cp, stop the container, modify the files then re-run mounting them using a volume.

For this repository I prefer the keep the config files in the image since they may be changed in the Debian package and it would require someone to keep the track of the changes.

Bump! Though you might be interested by #15.
