Add flower to .gitignore

I think something Docker related, but not fully sure, looks like some binary file? It keeps getting listed as a untracked file for me.

This has been bugging me too but I am wondering what the root cause is!

[annavik]

Looks like some database file? Still not fully sure if the correct solution should be to ignore it or make sure it's not being generated?

A clue:

From ChatGPT:

Since the file is named "flower", it might be related to Celery Flower, a real-time monitoring tool for Celery workers. If you’re using Celery in your project, this could be a cache or database file generated by Flower.

@mohamedelabbas1996 can you try and make the flower service save the flower database file to ./data/ instead of the project root? That folder is already ignored in git. I think this started happening when I upgraded flower a few weeks ago. Flower is a web interface for viewing the Celery background tasks.

Check out the config here:
