link leads to 404, do you mean https://github.com/Michael-A-Kuykendall/shimmy?

If yes, the readme states "coming soon" for docker support and is missing setup with and without GPU for all OS and a docker / docker compose file. Please let us know why this repository should be part of the docker awesome list and is not better suited to be part of a awesome rust list. Thanks!
