Any help running flowblade with docker?

[ovizii]

I would like to run flowblade in a docker container and access it remotely. To do this, I usually use this baseimage: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui/ with several other apps.

The problem is, I used the Debian Buster base image and my Dockerfile build gets stuck at:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 flowblade : Depends: python3-mlt but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The other available base images is based upon Ubuntu 18.04 but apparently that has problems with flowblade too.

Any solutions or hints?

I eventually resorted to using

apt-get install -y flowblade

knowing it'll give me an older flowblade version. to be more precise about 2.5 years older than the current version :-(

unfortunately that didn't work either, I am seeign this error:

Any hint would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately as lead developer I don't have any info achieving this. I'm leaving this open so that if someone comes up with a solution, I hope they will share info here.

thanks for taking note. I might give it another try or find someone to help me figure it out and will update my ticket if I figure it out.
