Hi Houzéfa Abbasbhay
I will check about the removed help file and the removal reason (probably lack of time to maintain after the changes: we are still in work in progress)
About sed, we will look as well but did not have issues so far.
thanks for your feedback

Hmm,

The sed commands with "/g" seem a bit dangerous...

Note: only the default odoo conf file is modified by the sed commands, not the one that can be selected via ODOO_CONF env var.

Also, why has the help file been removed? It was quite useful when running the Docker image without any additional argument.

About the purpose of OCA repository, it is still to be discussed but it could cover in order of priority:
1.- easy onboarding based on OCB
2.- Production based on OCB (for me actually the same as 1)
3.- Easy customizable docker that allows to test some repo via oca_dependencies.txt (https://github.com/Elico-Corp/odoo-docker/pull/9/files or similar)
4.- Developer dockers (including postgres?)

In parallel thread about the topic, additional tools have been proposed such as travis2docker, voodoo and it might be interesting to include them in the project.

forgetting is one thing, keeping that way is another.

I do not accuse, I merely note the facts...

Taking without credit, removing original authors, reuploading under
another name to github and dockerhub and then proposing to work on an
OCA docker citing your work without acknowledging ours (until shamed
to do so). Once exposed minimize matters and cover-up even more by
removing the last trace of our name from the files without adding a
proper acknowledgment!!! (my remark from a few hours ago)

As of right now I still do not see our company name in your README...

Those are facts, not accusations. I accuse you of nothing, I merely state facts.

I see no problem to people reusing my work do not try and give lessons please.
As I already pointed if the help file is something unnecessary at
least remove the code that use it... Because at the moment the boot
file is orphaned and will fail when someone tries the corresponding
command. You do not shed yourself in a good light when insisting on
this point.

So basically you took 3 months to make adaptations without even asking
for help or proposing changes and then proposed your work as novel
ideas for inclusion in OCA. fair enough, it is chinese customization.

Before speaking of building a docker file for OCA we should maybe
state the purpose and scope we try to achieve.

In your first announcement you spoke about production images. But then
in this thread you are also stating the image should help people
download and evaluate Odoo.
While those two goals may not contradict themselves they also may
conflict. If this "conflict" arise we should have guidelines as to
precisely what are our proposed goals.

What would be the proposed scope and target of an OCA docker image?
This is the first question we should try and answer here.
On my side I am interested to have a base image (same as xcgd/odoo)
based on OCA upon which I will build my production images. I don't
really intend to favor "demo build" since anybox recipe is
(originally) intended just for that a provides a better way to do it.

I fully understand this and don't have problem with that, once again
no need to try and give lessons to me about open source. From my point
of view a "team" works together, it seems rather strange you give me
lessons when I am the one exposing your practices.

A clear notice of where the code comes from would be nice and prove
working together is something we can achieve. And as already stated I
began by being really balanced in my remarks. If I am taking time to
write here it _is_ because I want to achieve collaboration together
and share something with the community.

I am sure that once you just acknowledge our work in your README and
stop trying to cover up, we will all be able to work together in an
open fashion and good spirit.
