Provider a Docker image

[ad-si]

The installation with Perl is a little cumbersome if you're not already in the Perl ecosystem. A Docker image would be awesome because then you can simply run docker run --rm jmacdotorg/sweat, without having to install anything

This already comes pretty close. I just couldn't figure out how to expose espeak output to the host. 😕
Maybe you can figure it out …

 from perl

 run apt-get update && \
   apt-get install -y \
     espeak \
     fortune-mod \
     fortunes

 run ln -s /usr/games/fortune /bin/fortune

 run cpanm Sweat

 entrypoint ["sweat"]

[jmacdotorg]

Thank you for this work!

I am afraid that don't know anything about Docker, so I can't be of much help with this question. In the meantime, have you tried one of the binaries at https://jmac.org/sweat/ ? (Yes, the README should link to that...)

[ad-si]

Oh, there are binaries. That's great, because I wasn't able to install it on macOS from source.
I guess no more excuses tomorrow morning for the workout 😅.

And yeah, you should definitely link to them in the readme 😉.
Thanks for building this tool, really great idea!
