investigate docker

[BurntSushi]

I've been playing around with docker at work, and if it can be made easy to run images on Windows, it might be a great idea to use it to distribute nfldb. The image would include PostgreSQL and the database itself. Possibly even the Python module.

This would be great for users that just want a database up and running that they can query.

Hi, did you make any progress with this? I am relatively new to docker, but I am thinking about trying to do something similar as an exercise in itself.

[BurntSushi]

No. The right way to do this is to probably build one image that has nfldb installed and distribute a docker-compose.yml file that runs two containers: one that runs nfldb-update (using the nfldb image) and one that runs PostgreSQL (using the standard postgres image).

First time to put something up on github, but this season I've been using this docker setup for NFLDB.
