Docker image

[bnutzer]

Hi,

ascii-image-converter just created the perfect startup banner for our spring boot application. Thanks a bunch!

As already noted, packaging is not trivial. A docker image for ascii-image-converter would make usage easier without the need for any local installation.

I am attaching a Dockerfile that created a well usable image for me.
Dockerfile.ascii-image-converter.txt

(Usage: place in a working directory, such as an empty dir or the local git repo, execute docker build -t ascii-image-converter -f Dockerfile.ascii-image-converter.txt .. Usage of resulting image: docker run --rm -it ascii-image-converter <url>, or docker run -v $(pwd):/data --rm -it ascii-image-converter /data/<localfile>).

Would you be interested in providing an "official" image on docker hub?

If you prefer the file as a pull request, just give me a note.

Looks neat. However, I don't have a wealth of experience using, or maintaining docker images. A tad bit busy these days but I'll review and think about this soon.

@bnutzer I did somewhat the same, but with a smaller (multi-stage) image build: https://hub.docker.com/r/dockvx/ascii-image-converter

@TheZoraiz I found out I need to supply --width when running from the image. Leaving --width out will result in a panic when converting a local file:

panic: runtime error: index out of range [0] with length 0

This doesn't happen when converting an image from an URL, so this could be a bug when converting local files?
