Any chance of getting this to run in Docker?

Hey there! I love this indexer. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with web servers and such to be able to run it just yet, but I do self-host a lot of web apps via Docker, and I think your project would get a ton of people interest and downloads if you had a Docker / Docker compose deployment option. Also, if you haven't yet, you can link to your project in r/selfhosted and it would get a lot of interest. That is, if that's even something you'd be interested in. And if Docker or any of that isn't of interest do you or your project, that's cool too. I just thought I'd ask.

Hello, and thank you very much for your time and suggestions!

The project can be set up using Docker, and the instructions for it can be found here: here. However, I don't have much experience with Docker myself, so when I made that option, I just sat up the basics, so you have to build it, populate it using the script, and then run it through docker yourself. It may be a little out of date, so if you're running newer Node versions (22+), I'll update it very soon to work with that.

By a deployment option, I'm assuming you're talking about hosting it as a container in https://hub.docker.com/, for example, so that it can easily be pulled? If so, I like that idea, and I can have a look at it as it sounds interesting.

...Going over and testing the Docker option now, I've realised that it's also time to update some dependencies, so I'll get to that soon too 😅

As for advertising the project. I just dislike doing that myself, as it feels as if I'm pushing it on people even though I know it's a great way of sharing it, and there's no real harm in doing it... However, people are very much welcome to share it however they feel, if they like the project, as it's all very much welcome.
