Simplified usage with Docker

[qdrop17]

Hi there.

This is more kind of a feature request then it is an issue. It would be great to have that entire solution in a self-contained Docker image. Both DB and application. This would make the usage far easier.

For instance one could directly use it on Synology-NASes.

Thanks for considering. If I have time, I might try to setup something myself.

Thanks for opening your first issue here! 🎉

Sure thing this would be nice to have. If you get around it open a PR and I will gladly merge it 😊

ok, I got it running natively - but it was quite difficult. There was no requires.txt but a METADATA-file.

now, image_match fails with the connection to Elasticsearch and I don't know how to fix that (it was using the wrong hostname). After more than 6 invested hours to get it working, I'm quitting now haha!

Your help would be highly appreciated. I would also consider buying you a pack of beers (or couple of coffees) if you provide a Docker container on Docker-Hub that works out of the box.

Anyways - cool stuff you developed here! It seems very useful to me.

Yeah I'm sorry it's so difficult to set up. Part of that is also due to image-match beeing outdated. I will try to getto this on the weekend. Glad you like it! :)

Hey @qdrop17 , just a little heads up:
I worked the whole day on #5 which will hopefully make it a lot easier to run py-image-dedup inside a container. While doing this I also had some issues with the latest version of elasticsearch that I had installed locally on my dev machine. I have fixed these issues now, so you can give it another shot if you use a recent version of elasticsearch too.

@qdrop17 fyi, I have finished docker support. I still need to write some documentation for it in the README but if you understand how docker works and docker-compose have a look 🤓

Very cool, thank you so much! It actually works flawlessly on a generic Ubuntu machine. But it's not working on my DS718+ NAS. Maybe a broken Docker installation or incompatibilities with the CPU.

The py-image-dedup container is not writing any logs on this NAS.

Thank you very much for your efforts anyway!
