[Feature] Dockerize the Website #35
Description
Feature Summary
Containerize the OSS Website using Docker to provide a consistent development and deployment environment across all platforms.
Problem or Need
Currently, developers must manually install Node.js and manage dependencies locally. This can lead to:
- "It works on my machine" bugs due to different Node versions or OS environments.
- Complex onboarding for new members who may struggle with local environment setup.
- Deployment inconsistency between local development and production hosting.
Describe the Solution
Create a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to streamline the setup process.
Key Requirements:
- Multi-stage Dockerfile: Optimize the image size by separating the build environment from the production runtime.
- Docker Compose: Add a docker-compose.yml file to allow members to start the entire environment (including potential future services like a database or CMS) with a single command.
- Layer Caching: Ensure package.json is copied and installed before the source code to speed up subsequent builds.
- Documentation: Update the README.md with instructions on how to run the site using Docker.
