Improving Avail’s Developer Experience: Actionable Feedback to Simplify Node Setup and Documentation Clarity.
The problem Avail DocTest solves
The feedback highlights a potential issue with setting up and running a full Avail node using Docker. It addresses the challenge users may face when the documentation-provided Docker command fails to locate the specified Docker image (availj/avail:2.2.4.1). This feedback aims to improve the onboarding experience by ensuring that all necessary information is accessible, making it easier for developers to get started with the Avail node setup without dealing with unexpected setup issues.
Challenges I ran into
While attempting to run the Avail node using Docker, I encountered a problem where Docker could not find or pull the specified image (availj/avail:2.2.4.1). This was due to either the image not being publicly available or the image tag being incorrect. To work around this issue, I recommended that the documentation should verify the image's availability on Docker Hub and include a troubleshooting guide for potential access and retrieval issues. Adding steps for authentication and checking for the latest image tags can significantly improve the user experience.
