Today I’m implementing the EnvVar modifiers I’ve been writing last time.
It works, my MariaDB container now has a default user, default database, and generate a password (:password modifier) for both root and user.
For now, the environment variables submitted by the user are written in all containers. That require some more CLI design to bound it to a container only, more time than I have.
But now that my runtime is up, I realised I’ve forgot to expose a port in container. Yet another problem… Fortunately, I already have a EXPOSE line in a containerfile, and Podman can find a free port by itself, so it should be fairly easy.
I think I won’t have time to implement the web-server. Instead, a teacher would have to use the CLI from the server that host containers to create student and projects. The teacher would then need to setup a SFTP server for the student to upload his code.
