Feature request: Debian packages

[LordAro]

Currently getting this set up and running is a real pain, with services dotted around the place that have to be daemonised, manual install steps, and the like.

Would be really good to get some sort of packaged version of this (releases only, I'd imagine), so that it becomes a simple <add repo> && apt install electron-render-service

(I set up parsoid just prior to this and it was a breeze by comparison!)

Docker is pretty common these days and with docker, no further installation of services or other software is required? A container can be started with a single line of code...

[LordAro]

Docker isn't always a feasible option (i.e. I'm trying to get this running on an LXC container)

A valid request, I haven't packaged for deb packages although, but it should be straightforward to autodeploy with travis if I find time. Is Ubuntu PPA ok?

For me personally, fine.

Not sure how "on your radar" the Mediawiki folks are (given they're using this service to generate pdfs for wikipedia nowadays), but I've found https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142226 on my "travels", so might be worth asking for their input to see what they'd like?
