WeeChat through Docker

Docker setup

Creating a docker image created from the Docker file attached:

sudo docker build --tag=weechatcontainer .

Running in Docker attached to a screen:

screen
docker run -it -v /home/ec2-user/weechat:/home/user/.weechat weechatcontainer

Why not using one of the 200 docker images from docker hub? No special reason, Docker file is simple enough and we can be sure of what's being included in the docker image.
