Dockerfile

[apiening]

I would love to give this a test drive out of curiosity.
But it doesn't look easy for me to build this, or is it?
It would be great to have a Dockerfile or docker image so that running this would be super easy.
Maybe someone is already working on this?

A Dockefile would be awesome.

I would suggest a multi-staged build, requiring the disk images be in the root directory. I may volunteer for this, if this is something @taviso would like to have done.

Publishing a binary image on Docker Hub may not be a good idea, due to possible legal issues (see ToS 4.3, 11)

I'm definitely interested, but I'm not a docker expert - there is an open PR from @gdm85 (see #10)!

Sorry I'm being slow getting to these requests, I'm really excited to get this working well but there's so much to do 😆

I went for a volume-mount there in #10.

No worries but I humbly suggest to get #11 better sooner than later because...it can act as a guard against breakage 😅 for example I am not able to build it anymore with latest changes after pulling (tried with ./run-from-container.sh 20 and ./run-from-container.sh 22):

Thank you for the feedback!
Didn't think of the licensing issue regarding a docker image, honestly.
I'll watch the project and try it when #10 is merged or a similar simple build option that works with plain Ubuntu linux.

I think maybe just try make clean? I think I need to improve the Makefile to notice when the symbols change!

[gdm85]

Yes, that worked!
