If anyone wants to pursue this approach they are welcome. My knowledge of Docker at this stage is not up to the task.
I see probably the best approach along these lines and probably not too dissimilar to a dockerfile is a script suitable for inclusion in winetricks. The installation procedure now seems to work for all distributions as far as we know, with the copying of the dll's from windowscodecs necessary for Ubuntu, Mint and similar. The existing ADE 1.7 winetricks script may well be suitable for modification.

I certainly defer to Late Paul on Docker and agree that direct hardware access requirements complicates and maybe prevents getting it to work. My limited understanding of dockerfiles is that they define an installation and can probably be considered similar to a script. They are relatively small and do not contain any OS or application components.
