I wanted to see how well it performed on real pictures of parts or hand-drawn drawings, but when I tried setting up the docker image, immediately ran into all kinds of dependencies not being installed. The examples make me suspect it doesn't work well beyond images that were generated from CAD in the first place.

> docker image, immediately ran into all kinds of dependencies not being installed

Ironically the former is engineered to avoid the latter.

A Docker image is a reinvention of a program, and a Docker container is a reinvention of a process. At first they were self-contained - but so were the first programs and processes.
If only there was some kind of container that allowed you to bundle all your dependencies together with your software.
That thing is called Nix
Parent said "bundle"
Nix to give you reproducable builds. Docker to bundle.

Docker files alone is usually full of aptgets and curlshs. Which might be why the docker image wont build.
