Is docker actually necessary? #9

Closed clampak closed 1 year ago

Is there a way to use this without docker? I'm working on a Debian distro in WSL. Docker doesn't seem to be recognized when I install it via apt, and just wondering if there could be a workaround. I've installed all the dependencies in the Dockerfile, and built signalbackup-tools, but not sure how to proceed from there.

Yes it's probably not necessary if you've installed everything in the Dockerfile.

I think you could probably just run something like this:

export SIG_KEY=...
export SIG_FILE=...
python3 signal-message-exporter.py

(as long as signalbackup-tools is in /usr/bin/signalbackup-tools, as that's where the python script is looking for it on Linux systems)

Thanks, that worked like a charm!
