Dear Blake, thanks for your reply. And also thanks for responding by email
(I prefer email communication versus IRC).

I didn't know about this stuff. If I knew, I could have tried to use your
docker images instead of trying to build mine. Does it support the latest
stable release of EG (have you tried it)?

Anyway, I had a quick look at the GitHub repo, and it is difficult for me
to figure out from it what is wrong in my installation. It is basically
bash code, embedded into ansible yaml code, executed inside a docker
container (3 levels of complexity). I also have to admit that I am not
quite familiar with ansible.

In any case, the installation instructions of EG (long and complex as they
are) are easier for me to understand.
So, if I follow them but I am still not able to make it work, it means that:
- they are not as clear and precise and they should be
- there is some issue (maybe very small) with the latest stable release (I
have not tried the previous releases)
- I am missing something or I am doing something wrong

If someone could help me (in an online meeting, in an interactive session)
to debug my installation and figure out what I am doing wrong, this would
be the easiest thing for me.

Anyway, for the time being I am looking at Koha, which seems to be easier
to install and has less instructions. If I fail, I will look maybe at some
thind option (I don't know yet what this might be), or come back and
give another try to EG.

In any case, thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Dashamir
