[09:27:26]<lazerorca>So I'm hosting FarmOS, do I need to be hosting it locally to use docker?
[09:28:05]<mstenta>hi lazerorca
[09:28:10]<mstenta>I'm not sure I understand your question
[09:28:53]<lazerorca>sorry I mean I'm hosting it on godaddy webspace
[09:29:09]<mstenta>lazerorca: oh ok, and you want to know if you can use docker on godaddy?
[09:29:17]<lazerorca>yeah my bad
[09:29:35]<mstenta>i'm not sure... does godaddy provide docker hosting options?
[09:29:54]<lazerorca>I'm not sure... I'll do some googling to find out
[09:30:10]<mstenta>using docker requires root access to the hosting server... so unless you have a VPS then they probably don't
[09:30:21]<mstenta>(virtual private server)
[09:30:40]<lazerorca>I'm pretty sure I don't
[09:31:08]<lazerorca>I think it is on a shared server... not dedicated...
[09:31:12]<mstenta>also... the farmOS docker image is provided mainly for local hosting and development... it hasn't been tested a whole lot in the real world ;-)
[09:31:22]<mstenta>ah ok - then yea docker probably isn't an option
[09:31:59]<mstenta>you should just do a standard installation (in the same way that you would install drupal)
[09:32:00]<lazerorca>it is not required to do the parent-child relations with bed in your plot right? that is just more for making the visuals right?
[09:32:30]<mstenta>lazerorca: well... so the GEOS library probably isn't available on Godaddy... so you wouldn't be able to use the area generator
[09:32:41]<mstenta>but you could still arrange your areas hierachically
[09:32:49]<lazerorca>ok cool
[09:33:17]<mstenta>ACTION puts on his Farmier hat...
[09:33:23]<mstenta>another option is to host on Farmier.com ;-)
[09:33:28]<mstenta>ACTION takes off hat
[09:34:15]<mstenta>(hosting on Farmier.com is a tradeoff, of course... you don't have the same amount of control to change/develop the core farmOS features... but everything is set up to work out of the box for you)
[09:34:41]<lazerorca>hmmm... so with farmier, can I still host my Wordpress there too?
[09:34:58]<mstenta>no, its just farmOS
[09:36:53]<lazerorca>ahhh okay
[09:38:09]<mstenta>it's an option... if you have trouble setting it up yourself and want something that "just works" :-)
[09:38:35]<mstenta>happy to help debug with you though!
[09:38:54]<lazerorca>I'll keep that in mind for sure if I really decide to dedicate myself to doing this
[09:39:16]<lazerorca>I can migrate it later, correct?
[09:39:33]<mstenta>cool - and yea regardless, if you plan to do any custom development on top your best bet is to set up a local docker instance
[09:40:00]<mstenta>yea, i can export the database from farmier and give it to you to set up locally
[09:40:12]<mstenta>importing into farmier is a little trickier, but also possible
[09:41:18]<lazerorca>well I have very limited experience with php and mysql... basically just doing the video courses from lynda... so I'm not sure I'll be doing any development
