I'm happy to contribute to the library of PowerCalc, But I am not familar with Docker at all and hence, I can't use the Measure tool

Describe the solution you'd like

To make it easy for people like me to contribute to PowerCalc, I would like to install the Measure tool as an add-on in my Home Assistant installation

Describe alternatives you've considered

Can't think of an alternative except learning and forgetting about Docker ;)

Hi, this has been asked in the past. But this is not possible as an addon because it requires user interaction. Have done some research on it in the past, but there is no easy way to get this working in HA OS addon architecture.

Running the docker container is very easy and essentially only a one liner. Installing docker engine itself is not more complicated than installing any other kind of software on your machine. There were more than 200 people successful running the measure tool, so I'm pretty sure you'll also succeed ;-)
