Most of that can be done with scripting in the container. It would ultimately though end up as a 'ready to go' venv environment if people want it.
I'm already working on an approach to automate install and setup of MM3 for other things I'm working on, so I'll keep this as a backup consideration for contributions.

That's a good question, but I don't know the answer. I can see that it has fewer moving parts than docker-mailman, but whether the people who find the current venv install too complex would find it appealing, I can't say. There is also the problem that you will need some way to generate the various authentication tokens and install them in the image ex post -- they can't be hard-coded. I don't think that's too hard, though. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan _______________________________________________ Mailman-users mailing list -- mailman-users@mailman3.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-leave@mailman3.org https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ Archived at: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/...
