Not sure if this is applicable to your case, but if the application is/can be used by an end user, then having it available as a Docker image can be really useful to the user, and reduces friction to try out your program.
Many times while looking through a project I find on GitHub, if they have a docker image available to try it out, I can try it by running a single command. But if they have more than 3 installation steps, I usually pass.
