Deploying BaseX + data + client

I have written a Python package for querying Greek syntax from Jupyter Notebook. It relies on BaseX and one or more open data resources found in GitHub repositories. I want to make it available to the public in a way that is easy to install. One possibility is to write a Python script that uses Docker to install BaseX, retrieves the data and installs it in the desired directory structure - perhaps in the container, then loads it into the database. I assume that would work cleanly cross-platform? Are there better approaches that I should consider? Are there security considerations that I should consider? Jonathan
