openrefine / containers Goto Github PK

Proposed solution

OpenRefine runs on baremetal machine, seeing the current trends having a dockerised deployment is no longer considered a feature yet a basic requirement from any well-used project. Proposal to have a Dockerfile & containerised way to run openrefine on user local system. As well as setup a dockerhub repo to push latest images for openrefine.

Additional context

• This thread is to initialise a discussion on having containerised deployments for OpenRefine.
• Would love to get feedback from the community, on the idea.

Following @wetneb comment: Would be great to offer/build Linux installer on a Flatpak package. Afterward could be offered on Flathub, so the installation process end up being just flatpak install flathub org.openrefine (flatpak install openrefine will probably work too).

Offering a .deb seems to break Debian's rules. Nonetheless, hopefully sooner o later (probably later) will be available on Debian repos.

Edit: Requested on Flathub.
