This Dockerfile and support files have been adapted from jellyfin-docker-tizen
Dockerfile readapted for my repository tizen from pablojrl123

Usage

Enable developer mode on the TV (more information on official Samsung guide):
- Go to Apps.
- Press 12345 on the remote; a dialog should pop up.
- Set Developer mode to On; fill in the IP of the Docker host.
- Power off and power on the TV as instructed; go once again to Apps.
- Depending on your model, a "DEVELOP MODE" or similar message might appear.
Build the application within a Docker image:
```
docker build -t moonlight-tizen .
```
This will take a while.

Note: If you are running Docker on a Mac with a silicon chip (M1/M2 etc), change the first line in Dockerfile to
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 ubuntu:22.04 as base before building to ensure compability.
Deploy the application to the TV:
- Run and enter a container; the container will be removed automatically on exit:
```
docker run -it --rm moonlight-tizen
```
- Connect to your TV over Smart Development Bridge:
```
sdb connect YOUR_TV_IP
```
- Confirm that you are connected, take note of the device ID:
```
sdb devices
```
The device ID will be the last column, something like UE65NU7400.
- Install the package:
```
tizen install -n MoonlightWasm.wgt -t DEVICE_ID
```
Moonlight should now appear in your Recent Apps - or similar page - on your TV.
- Exit the container:
```
exit
```
- (Optional) Remove the Docker image:
```
docker image rm moonlight-tizen
```
