Thank you / a note about usability with recent versions.

Hi there! I found this repository really helpful while migrating my syncstorage-rs instance from one deployed with a NixOS module into Kubernetes.

Unfortunately, I ran into issues — it turns out that more recent versions of the image on Docker hub only support Spanner, and not MySQL. Indeed, I've just looked into it now that I got everything working, and it appears that they started feature-flagging support as of 0.14.0, allowing for only one of the two in a build, and (presumably all) the builds on Docker Hub made since then use the default feature, Spanner. The instance I migrated was on 0.18.2 previously and I didn't want to try rolling it back that far.

So, unless users stick with the version you've used in your docker-compose.yaml (0.13.6), they'll have to do as I did and build their own image to use! It's not too hard, thankfully: docker build . --build-arg DATABASE_BACKEND=mysql in a fresh clone will produce a correctly working image.

Thank you again!

So does it mean that if instead of using image: mozilla/syncstorage-rs:0.13.6 in the docker-compose.yaml I probably should add the syncstorage-rs repo as a git-submodule and then do the build step in the docker-compose.yaml and then it would work?

I just saw that they closed one of the bugs about the documentation:https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/issues/1483

And pointed to the new documentation: https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/how-to/how-to-run-with-docker.html

I need to try it and if it works I'll be able to switch to the official one.
