Why isn't this just wrapped in a single docker image or docker compose? Why do you need all these scripts? Just curious. I get its checking for docker and dependencies, but can you just get rid of the dependency problem by embedding in the docker file and have a single set of docker files that do all this work? Leverage compose after?

We made these custom deployment scripts to walk the user through the installation process and make it more organized. We could just use plain docker compose but then we would have less control over what we show to the user - things like helpful error messages. For example we detect if you have KVM support enabled and if not, we suggest you should enable it in BIOS. Under the hood these scripts are just wrappers for docker compose with guardrails.
