I did dockerized the OpenPTV and PyPTV
I've looked at Docker Container technology for quite some time. I thought it's a great idea to try to use it for the OpenPTV project (www.openptv.net). The problem we face is mainly a lack of professional software engineers that can encapsulate and create a single-click installation (for any important platform, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows). So we leave with a long list of installation instructions that are both confusing and not very updated.
Since Linux (and Ubuntu specially with the apt-get package manager) were the easiest platform for installation, it was quite clear that Docker should work. It took me though some time to learn the basics and get a first working version. So it is there now. We need you to test it, please.
See https://github.com/alexlib/dockerfiles for the repository and instructions and also the DockerHub repository https://hub.docker.com/r/alexlib/openptv-python/
To test it, just pull the docker image or clone the repository and build it yourself locally (there is a set of commands that shall be helpful) and please write us back how it works. It is tested on Mac OS X only with the new Docker toolbox that runs very fast.
