electron-docker-starter

Electron in Docker Starter for multiple platforms

This provides examples for how to run Electron in Docker (via electron-builder & Vue, using vue-cli-electron-builder).

Included are example scripts for building/running containers for Linux (tested Ubuntu) (linux/amd64) and Intel Macs, as well as the Mac M1 (Apple Silicon, linux/amd64).

This is really just a jumping off point to get an idea of how to iron out some of the Electron-Docker idiosyncrasies (x11-forwarding, not-straightforward Electron dependencies, etc.).
