# Dtella@Home NMDC Server
#
# Dtella is an open-source, decentralized server for the NMDC protocol originally
# created by Purdue for internal file sharing. This docker image is based on the
# the Dtella@Home port of the original software:
# 	https://code.google.com/archive/p/dtella-home/
# Only modifications to make the Dtella@Home software ports predicatable, provide
# a unique network/encryption key, and add a better persisten storage path have been
# made.
#
# Host networking is required to properly bind to the loopback interface.
#
# Your NMDC client must connect to 127.0.0.1 and must report the local IP address
# as 127.0.0.1
#
# Dtella does not perform active IP detection for it's internal translations. Client
# IP addresses will be inferred via the Dtella connections. As a result, it is not
# safe to use multiple clients behind the same NAT, without using NAT loopback, when
# connecting to other public IP addresses.
#
# Set NETWORK_KEY to define a custom encryption key for your network and to control
# access.
#
# Mount a directory to /data for persistent storage of logs and clients.

# Start with python slim base image
FROM python:2.7.14-slim
