Frescobaldi 3 (without Rumor) also supports MIDI input.
Yes, but it only gets the notes. Rumor will also capture durations. From
reading the Frescobaldi docs, there used to be a Rumor plugin. Now it appears
we no longer have a Rumor plugin, but the base MIDI input ignores durations.
Is there a way to get durations off a MIDI keyboard in Frescobaldi?
Thanks,

You should thank Dan Eble for all the work on the Docker container.
I think you can just add the rumor package in the Dockerfile and build
the image.
