Add Docker Support for Easier Project Setup and Deployment

[TheMohit2003]

Feature Description 📝

Implement Docker support for the project to streamline the setup process, ensuring that all contributors can work within a consistent and isolated development environment. This includes creating a Dockerfile for the application and, if necessary, a docker-compose.yml file to manage multi-container setups, including the application and its database.

Motivation 🌟

The motivation behind this proposal stems from numerous setup issues faced by contributors, attributed to varying system configurations and dependency management challenges. These issues not only hinder new contributors from setting up the project efficiently but also introduce inconsistencies across development environments.

Expected Behavior 🤔

• Contributor should be able to set up the project with minimal steps, essentially requiring only Docker installation and running a couple of docker commands

Hi, @TheMohit2003
Is anyone there who is assigned on the issue.
If not then I would like to give this a try.

[TheMohit2003]

Hey @ritikprajapat21 , I have already created a docker file for this . I am just waiting for project owners for their opinion.

@jvJUCA Should we add Nginx to serve our Vue app, or just use serve with npm to expose it on a port? I am talking about using nginx image in our Dockerfile to serve the build files.

Dear @TheMohit2003 ,

Our team prefers sticking with serve to expose our Vue application on a port. We've chosen this approach due to its simplicity and ease of configuration. serve is a lightweight and straightforward tool for serving static files, requiring minimal setup.

Best regards,

hey @TheMohit2003 have you manage to do Docker setup??? I am also interested in doing so if you have no issues

[TheMohit2003]

@Tufailahmed-Bargir , yep, already done . Will push it soon .

[Tufailahmed-Bargir]

Sorry for late answering. 🙏
A good option can be creating two docker images, one for dev, with the volume links to the current folder to dev locally. Another for deployment with a nginxserver to serve the file.

[TheMohit2003]

@xemyst , i did asked the main members if we needed nginx , but they clearly said as of now they would want to keep the project image as simple as possible . So i am just exposing the build at a port without using any base nginx image.
Hey @jvJUCA , any point regarding @xemyst argument .
