Docker support? #128

Closed occoder closed 1 month ago

occoder commented 1 month ago

Hi Considering the Crappy package heavily relies on multi-process and pipe as the IPC method, is possible to deploy a Crappy based application within a Docker container?

Hi ! I'm not familiar with Docker, but AFAIU it should normally be possible to use Crappy inside a container. The number of CPU cores the container is allowed to access will be critical for parallelism, but that's apparently something that can be configured easily. Because Docker runs in a VM on Windows and macOS, I would expect lower performance in this case. Access to USB and other ports might also need to be configured.
