Containerize this Project for Easier Contribution

[sujal-goswami]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when trying to set up the development environment for this project. The process can be time-consuming and error-prone, particularly when dealing with different dependencies and system configurations.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose containerizing this project using Docker. By providing a pre-configured Docker container, developers can quickly and easily set up a consistent development environment. This would streamline the onboarding process for new contributors and ensure that everyone is working with the same setup, reducing the likelihood of environment-related issues.

Good idea, our dependencies are pretty straightforward if you want to give it a go!

I have given it a try, but unfortunately, it resulted in some unusual errors. Could you please take a look at it?

Wavesrv depends on waveshell, so you can't copy just wavesrv when creating the wavesrv-builder stage. It looks like you copied both for the waveshell-builder instead of for the wavesrv-builder.

I would recommend running all the go builds as a monolithic backend-builder stage

Hey, during my local build, I discovered some issue in build-linux.md in there npm install -g yarn is installing other version of yarn but this project uses version "[email protected]" which causing problem.

but even after resolving it during running client, it gives a strange error

Ah, it looks like our documentation in the build-linux document is out of date, we use Yarn Modern for our package manager, which requires some extra setup. Check out the info in the macOS instructions regarding Yarn: https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/blob/main/BUILD.md#prereqs-and-tools

Specifically, you need to run the following:

corepack enable
yarn install
