Hey! Great work!
I added a docker config for cuda configurations.
I just noticed you have a dev branch. Please let me know if you'd prefer PRs to dev.

I noticed there is an issue where this configuration will not convert multiple files.

This issue can be reproduced by setting the command: in docker-compose.yml to:

python convert.py /input /output --workers 10 --max 10 --min_length 10000

Then run docker compose run marker ; ls output/
Please note there are no output files.

Thank you for this, @gardner ! Is there any easy way to get this to work with or without a cuda device? I imagine it would need a different base image.

Also, any reason to use 11.8 over 12 for cuda?

Hi - I'm not an active contributor so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I would comment on an Issue if there was one. Please disregard if this isn't the place.

In my particular use case, a Docker container that exposes an API I can repeated call over HTTP would be significantly more helpful and a Docker container used as a sort of command line function call. This makes it useful in a cloud deployment situation. E.g. I could just push this to Google Cloud Run and have a functioning/scaling endpoint to convert PDFs to markdown.

Anyways, I'm going to be writing one for my own use but would be happy to post here when finished.

@justinmclark, did you get around to doing this? Something like this would also be very useful for me right now!
