Docker for master?

[DavidMoffatt-web]

It would be nice to have a docker version for the master. I assume this is doable?

Hi @DavidMoffatt-web
Yes it's doable, I will include it I the next release! Just one question, would you like the Dockerfile to build master OR can it just download the appropriate binary from the latest release?

[DavidMoffatt-web]

Honestly, I am not sure what the best practice is. Perhaps someone with more experience can chime in? I am just a small-time homelab'er who hosts most of his stuff in docker containers. However, I assume it can always be changed in the future, so likely do what is easiest first, and then change it if it isn't best practice?

@DavidMoffatt-web could please checkout branch chore/run-master-docker and test if the docker environment fits your needs?
Instructions can be found in the same branch README.md

#13

Hrm; I am afraid not - Candidly, I am not quite sure how to launch this as I usually just run a docker compose file that handles pulling the docker image and the rest.

Thanks for the feedback! Docker compose might make more sense because of the volume required by the tool.

Imagine you’re launching the tool with docker compose, what would be the commands you would use to get ir running?

Personally, I use a GUI to launch all my docker compose files; specifically Cosmos (https://cosmos-cloud.io/) but I know portainer and others are popular. This is to say - I don't know what commands are used on the backend.

I really should probably learn more about how docker functions. It would likely be more helpful in this discussion. I am sorry!
