docker-compose instructions unclear and db error

[skupfer]

Short description

Evaluate Dagda. Therefore I used the docker-compose way to no avail.

Reproduction steps

1. Install docker and docker-compose
2. git clone repository
3. docker-compose build
4. docker-compose up -d
5. docker-compose exec dagda /bin/sh -c 'python dagda.py vuln --init'´
6. docker-compose exec dagda /bin/sh -c 'python dagda.py vuln --init_status'

Expected results

Get a working state of the database.

Actual results

I waited 1 hour (~250MBit network) for it to finish but it is still in state "Initializing". So something isn't working properly here I guess.

The status is now showing an error.

On which platforms did you notice this:

Please complete the following information:

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Docker version: Latest

Backtrace

Same problem using the local setup on building <Updating RHSA & RHBA collections ...>

Solution

1. Update README with correct commands / correct way to setup dagda using docker-compose instead of manual install.
   1.1. Are the other steps still required? I am talking about: pip install requirements and kernel headers
2. Update docker-compose with the environment variables or include a .env to be edited

services:
  dagda:
    build: .
    image: 3grander/dagda:0.8.0
    environment:
       - DAGDA_HOST=127.0.0.1
       - DAGDA_PORT=5000

3. Include Falco and every other image/service needed in docker-compose.yml
   3.1. Shutdown is incomplete if these containers are still running!

I've had the same

<ERROR> <DagdaServer> <dagda_server> <_init_or_update_db:155> <Unexpected exception of type TypeError occurred: ('documents must be a non-empty list',)>

issue on a CentOS 7 machine using both docker-compose and on host build / setup
