Can you provide this app as a Docker image so that it will be easy to self-host it?

It would be difficult to troubleshoot while self hosting giscus app, so why can't you provide a docker image so that it will be easy to install and run the application.

I'm no expert here, more like Jon Snow, I know nothing! Anyways, even with my limited knowledge, you should be able to get something working like below.

My challenge is I know NOTHING about Node/Next.js, so in regards to production safety, I can't vouch for this.
One thing is certain, from my minimal testing I can only get it to work when I have the .env placed in root during Docker build, which IS NOT SAFE to have within Docker images. Tried with --env-file and mapping with -v $(pwd)/.env:/app/.env doesen't seem to do the trick. I suspect some environment variables are used during build. Again, I know nothing nothing.
Also, it somehow seems that signals isn't handled, so stopping the contain is clucky, use docker stop giscus to do so 🤷‍♂️

Maybe @laymonage can enrich, but seems like he has enough on his plate.

FROM node:18
WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json yarn.lock client.ts ./
RUN yarn install

COPY . .
RUN yarn build

CMD ["yarn", "start"]

docker run --rm --name giscus -p 3000:3000 giscus
