Document how to run on Linux

[monmima]

Thanks for creating this project. It seems amazing.

OK. So I read an article by you here: https://habr.com/en/post/590549/.

In it, you write:

The app is packed into the docker container. It's a simple technology to deploy your stuff anywhere from the server to your local machine. It's available across all the operating systems.

If I read between the lines, I guess this means the app could work under Linux as well, but your README.md file only gives this command/path, which is for Windows:

docker run -v C:\app\data:/app/data -v C:\app\img:/app/static/img -p 80:80 lingtrain/aligner:v4

So what would the correct command be here for Linux?

Hello,

Indeed docker is available across other platforms besides Windows. To mount the Linux directory just change the C:\app... to yours. For example, to /tmp/app/data and /tmp/app/img. Make sure that these directories exist before you start the container.

Thanks for your quick reply. :+1:

The app seems to work now. Here is what I did under Linux Mint to run the app.

===

1. Open a Terminal window.
2. Install docker with this command:

   sudo apt install docker.io

3. Install Lingtrain Alignment Studio using the following command. I had to add sudo since I was running into permission issues.

   sudo docker pull lingtrain/aligner:v6

4. Go to the tmp/ folder at the very root of the system and create a test/ folder inside to basically create this path tmp/test/.
5. Run the app with this other command:

   sudo docker run -v /tmp/test -v /tmp/test -p 80:80 lingtrain/aligner:v6

6. Open a browser and type this in the address bar.

   localhost

I haven't tested Lingtrain so far but it really seems promising.
