@askingthisonething For me it’s mostly a convenience thing. I’m already running a Debian VM with half a dozen Docker container services, so being able to spin up FOG in the same place where I can manage it with the same interface as everything else would be preferable. The ports aren’t an issue because you have the ability to map the ports the container uses internally to whatever ports you want on the host.

In a world where an official Docker image existed and was maintained, it would also be a lot faster and easier for people to create a FOG instance in their environment, in that all they would need to do is run a Docker run command or deploy a Docker compose file to get it up as opposed to setting up a new VM and then going through the installation script. Updating would also be as simple as pulling the latest image from Dockerhub rather than downloading the newest install script and running it again (which can be automated so you don’t even notice).

I did just find an image that works. (It works meaning I’m able to access the FOG interface. It’s outdated but it’s there).

I used the following docker compose:

version: '3.4'

services:
  fogserver:
    image: mudislander/fogproject:latest
    container_name: fogproject
    environment:
      IP: 192.168.1.225
      WEBSERVER_HTTP_PORT: 80
      APACHE_ROOT_REDIRECTION: "<OPTIONAL_URL>"
    ports:
      - 80:80/tcp
      - 69:69/tcp
      - 69:69/udp
      - 21:21/tcp
#      - 443:443/tcp
      - 9000:9000/tcp
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - <PATH_TO_LOCAL_IMAGES_FOLDER>:/images
      - <PATH_TO_LOCAL_MYSQL_DATA_FOLDER>:/var/lib/mysql

Popping in to say that I recently created a request on the linuxserver.io forum for the creation of a Fog container. I updated that request with a link to this post in an effort to encourage a followup.
