Suppose I have a docker application (such as this one). The standard usage is using the CLI to run docker run, in this case, for macOS users it would be:
docker run -it --rm bigdeddu/nyxt:2.2.1
Now, I would like to produce an app bundle or something so that users can double click to launch this docker application as a desktop application. It would be kind of a GUI shortcut to launch docker.
How can I achieve that?
1 - Is there a solution already done for it? If so, which one?
2 - If there is not a solution already done for it, what would be a rough sketch on how to build one?
Thanks!
Docker was designed to encapsulate server processes. For servers, the CLI is a reasonable and often satisfactory interface.
If you want users to run their possibly interactive application, you may want to look for https://appimage.org/. Although I am unsure whether that is available for MacOS.
To get around these limitations, you could either think of creating an end user targeting GUI for docker, or an implementation of AppImage for MacOS.
