Hello BaseX friends,

So it happens that I am trying to discover how to set up BaseX to run in Docker. By no means am I skilled in system administration.

There are some instructions at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Docker which are very helpful, not least in confirming that I have a reasonable idea.

The last example given on that page, however, gives me pause. It appears to install git into the Docker image, but the commentary suggests it's something else including a modification to CLASSPATH. I wonder if the commentary is not out of sync with the example.

Yet at the same time I just need to know more -- inasmuch as I would like my image to have SaxonHE available, the most recent version freely available from maven or best available means. What would the syntax be for that. and how do I determine what that is (presumably for apk)? As well as potentially amending the CLASSPATH, if need be, to add the saxon.jar ...

Thanks for any hints. relevant tips or links to Docker help :-)

Regards, Wendell

Hi Wendell,

you're right, the documentation is out of sync. Comparing the history of Wiki edits explains the mistakes:

http://docs.basex.org/index.php?title=Docker&diff=prev&oldid=13817

It is not Debian anymore, it is Alpine Linux. And it is not a lib for image manipulation that is installed, but git. And there is no CLASSPATH update.

We'll have a look at it and revise the paragraph.

All the best Alex
