This would be a fantastic tool dockerized. If I knew more about creating dockers I would do it. But its just a suggestion.

Hi, thanks for your interest.

According to my understanding of docker, I think this would be a challenging task.

The web server which hosts the UI for this application can easily be containerized and can run from inside a docker container however since the app also requires access to CSV files on the user's machine and access to a MySQL or Postgres database server running on the user's machine, this might be problematic when trying to dockerize the app.

While I can think of ways to allow the app running in a docker container to have access to the database server running on the Host but serving the CSV files to the container can be difficult. I am sure it's possible using docker volumes and placing the CSVs on a shared volume between the host and the container.

However, I am no docker expert but I would definitely give it a try whenever I get some time.

Thanks 🙂
