Docker Image

Does anyone know if there is a Docker Container of the with the Broadcastify Pi image?
If not, does anyone know how to create one?
Thanks,
John Gallagher

Some things are just a pain in the rear to containerize or become massively large when done. I imagine this one would fall into that category, due to the various SDRs that could potentially be used. You'd be better served by creating one for your own needs.

I am new to Docker, fairly proficient on the Pi. Do you know of an easy to follow set of instructions on creating Docker containers from existing images on the Pi?
Thanks,
John

It's essentially building the entire stack (selecting a base OS, installing applications, etc) in the image. A couple of examples are:

How to Build Docker Images with Dockerfile

A Docker image is the blueprint of Docker containers that contains the application and everything you need to run the application. In this tutorial, we will explain what Dockerfile is, how to create one and how to build a Docker image with Dockerfile.

You can also have a source tarball you can copy into the image with the COPY command then extract it with a CMD. Be prepared for a frustrating experience, though. Some software becomes a real pain, especially if it needs access outside of a container, such as a USB device.

Thanks. I will look into this.
