Hello everyone

Recently discovered Sozi and I must say it is wonderful. I wanted to contribute to the community to make the use of Sozi easier. Also, to facilitate the work of Guillaume in the deployment of Sozi.

I'm very fond of docker for package multiplatform content and invested some hours to prepare a docker container. The result is docker container that bundles inkscape+sozi+sozi-export plus instructions

https://hub.docker.com/r/escalope/inkscape-sozi

You need to have installed docker (available in all linuxes and windows and macos), but this is only tested in linux. This docker allows to run everything without installing anything and compromising your local filesystem. However, it will work only from commandline. No desktop shortcuts or desktop integration. Plain command line. Excellent for a first contact and decide to install everything permanently.

Guillaume, there are links in the folder to my dockerfile, in case you want to give it other uses. I must say it was tricky to make it all work, specially the npm part. Also, I failed to compile with bower the original git repo. However, it works with the deb you provided. Will open an issue for that after this.

If you have issues with this dockerfile, please, open an issue in the dockerfile repo: https://github.com/escalope/dockerfile-sozi

Thanks for sharing. I have just tried it and I agree that it is an effective solution to ship a ready-to-use setup of Sozi with its companion tools.

I will complete the installation instructions for Sozi with a description of your solution and links to the repositories.

Can you give me more details about the issues you met?

I have created an issue. https://github.com/senshu/Sozi/issues/450
You can find there the error messages I got with bower so that you can judge. Also, take into account that, by default, docker runs within the container as root.

Perhaps it is nothing and I'm just inexperienced with bower.

Anyway, being unable to run this with a debian:stretch image maybe a concern, anyway. That's why I said it was tricky. It maybe a docker thing and that's why there is a npm specific base image for this. I'm unsure if this is worth researching if no one else has reported a thing.
