You can play with or deploy Huginn inside of docker.
Getting Huginn up and running using docker is quick and painless once you have docker installed. The docker container is suitable for production and evaluation. Huginn uses environmental variables for configuration, so rather than having a .env file, the Docker container expects variables to be passed into the launch command.
