[Gambas-user] Docker image Gambas issue

[Linus]

Hello,

I have done few tests after your comment and I agree the fact that when you run an application build with ‘gb.web.gui’, you obtain a web page as result (Ex:  'gbr3 WebUI' and not ‘gbr3 -H WebUI.gambas’)

Maybe I'm missing something in your description but like that I lost the interactive part of the application and no backend application is running assuming the session, as it is when you use the embedded web server.

Moreover I had to move all the content of the ‘.public’ directory into the /var/www/html/ and change few paths. If you use Icons provided by Gambas, they don’t work or your need to replace them and put them into your 'moved’ .public directory.

Seeing all that, surely I’m not using it like your described but it did not work for me putting my application just behind a web server.

What I’m doing wrong please ?

Thank you

Olivier
