Docker makes NiubiGEO easier to self-host by packaging the application and its dependencies. Users can start the workbench with Docker Compose and run it in their own environment.
We chose Docker to make ARBR easier to run and self-host. Packaging the application and its dependencies together reduces manual setup and helps keep environments consistent. For an open-source project, that means developers can spend less time troubleshooting installation and more time exploring the product. Its familiar workflow made it a practical fit for our team and contributors.
HarnessRouter Community Edition ships as a single Docker container with Gateway, Runner, and Console. Docker is what makes self-hosting one command instead of a deployment project.
