Docker

Eggdrop has an official Docker image! While most things work the same, there are a few new errors that pop up, and ways to implement it. A docker-compose.yml example is hosted at https://github.com/eggheads/eggdrop-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yml⁠

Loading Tcl Packages

Many scripts require extra OS packages to be installed in order to function, such as tcl-tls, tcl-lib and libsqlite3-tcl. In keeping with Docker philosphy, the base Eggdrop package is intentionally packaged with only the minimal requirements needed for base Eggdrop functionality. However, users may easily add add packages when starting a container from the command line like this:

docker run -i eggdrop sh -c 'apk add tcl-lib tcl-tls && exec /home/eggdrop/eggdrop/entrypoint.sh eggdrop.conf'

For a docker-compose file, you can add the following line in the build section:

build:
  context: .
  dockerfile_inline: |
    FROM eggdrop:latest
    RUN apk add tcl-lib tcl-tls  

Commonly Seen Errors

• When using a docker-compose file started from scratch, you may see the error message "END OF FILE ON TERMINAL" at startup. To fix this, add

stdin_open: true

to the docker-compose.yml file.

• When adding Tcl packages,
