Dear José and dear all.

For a more advanced user or for deployment in servers Docker seems a better solution to me. Running CQPwebInABox consumes much more disk space and resources as one virtualises the whole guest operative system and the experience is not so good sharing resources (like indexed corpora). I don't think one needs to use Docker inside VirtualBox.

Thank you José for pointing out this. No, actually both Windows (10)
and Mac versions don't run on VirtualBox, but on a small virtualized
Linux operating system. On the other hand, if you use Docker on Linux
you actually do not have a virtualized environment, since Docker
applications run on top of your OS Linux kernel.
Moreover, Microsoft has made substantial efforts to support Docker
(and other Linux software) and containers are natively supported by
the Windows Subsystem for Linux. (in case you are wondering, I'm NOT a
fan of Microsoft and back in the old days I use to style Redmond
company as M$ :-))
Besides that, Docker is not of course meant for lay users, but, I'd
say, for power users. However, it is not more difficult than using,
say, software providing *amp stacks, such as ammps.

As I wrote yesterday, I am actively developing a Docker solution for
CWB; currently, it only supports Janssen's TEITOK for the graphical
interface, but I am working to implement CQPweb as well.

All the best,
