net2o in a container

see https://fossil.net2o.de for more information

Uses the directory ~/net2o of the docker host to store persistent data such as keys or chat logs. Inside the container this directory is called /net2o regardless where it is on the host -- see the -v option below.

$ mkdir ~/net2o

Put a config text file in the ~/net2o directory. Note the slightly different pathnames.

$ cat ~/net2o/config
date=2
chats="/net2o/chats"
keys="/net2o/keys"
.net2o="/net2o"
$

optionally copy other existing net2o files into this directory keeping the directory structure intact. Now run the container

$ docker run -ti --rm -v ~/net2o:/net2o --user $(id -u) mtrute/net2o-container keylist
Passphrase: ••••••  
==== opened: ....
$ docker run -ti --rm -v ~/net2o:/net2o --user $(id -u) mtrute/net2o-container chat groupname
Passphrase: ••••••  
==== opened: ....
...
/bye
$

Hint: use a shell alias to shorten the command line

$ alias n2o="docker run -ti --rm -v ~/net2o:/net2o --user $(id -u) mtrute/net2o-container"
$ n2o keylist
...
$ n2o chat group@user
....
