Hey Doug - I managed to get this configured with my Docker container. Here's how I did it.
1: created a docker volume for "dms_apps" 2: mounted volume to Mayan container to a local path of /etc/mayan (my version is configured with the MySQL option, so this dir was empty) 3: created the symlink to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mayan/apps 4: Ran mayan-edms.py migrate 5: Restart container (may take a bit longer to initialize) After the restart, the Analyzers option is available within Setup.
