== INSTALLATION OF THE IMAGE ==

Build the image with:
 $ docker build --build-arg X11=no --tag=conky .

Although it will also build without "--build-arg X11=no" you'll need
some experience with both docker and conky to run the X11 version.


== RUNNING OF THE CONTAINER ==

After building the easiest way to ran the commandline version is:
 $ docker run --rm -ti conky

or if you want to pass some options to conky (e.g. "--version"):
 $ docker run --rm -ti conky conky --version

or if you want to fiddle around a bit with the configuration you could do:
 $ docker run --name=conky -ti conky bash
<change things is in the configuration>
 $ conky -c configurationfile ; exit

or ... (use the docker docs to see what is possible)


== WHY ==

Disadvantages of using the docker:

 - You'll have to install docker.
This can be done by following the instructions in
https://docs.docker.com/install/ to install docker CE. But just using the
packagemanager of your distro like you would do with other software will work.
- At the moment our docker image is still in development fase.


Advantages of using docker:

- During the installation you won't have to care about which compilers,
libraries, ... are installed. Neither should you care about how to use them.
- The containerization of conky will make it a lot harder to let problems with
conky affect the rest of the system.
- Your Conky will run in exactly the same environment as everyone else's, so
if it works for someone it will work for everyone. No matter which distro you
are using or how you configured that distro. (The conky configuration itself
will matter and also the version of conky)
- Problems will be easier to recreate by developers causing faster debugging.
