thanks for your suggestion to dockerize the app for development, and appreciate your willingness to work on this, but currently, not sure whether or not to dockerize the app. i know it could solve a lot of issues in the future, but concerned that adding docker support could add more complexity. will definitely keep your suggestion in mind and may revisit this issue. i will comment here if decided. thanks again for your contribution!
