feat(api,robot-server): Add Dockerfile and docker-compose file

[amitlissack]

Overview

This adds a Dockerfile to the root of the monorepo. It will build a backend in which to run the robot-server and hardware emulator.

A docker-compose file is added to start the robot-server connected to emulators.

closes #7674

Changelog

• added .docker-ignore to root of monorepo
• created Dockerfile that builds an image with api, robot-server, notify-server and dependencies.
• the docker file copies source files then builds packages. in a separate stage it installs the built packages. Not sure if this is a smart approach vs just using a shared volume
• add docker-compose.yml to run the robot-server and hardware emulation together.

Review requests

To run:

• docker-compose up --build

I am no Docker wiz. Any advice is welcome.

If we like this approach I will add some notes in the read me for usage.

Risk assessment

None

Love it! Works for me. Left a couple suggestions on how to improve workflow- mostly just prepping for a docker-compose up -d situation~

This is a general question for everyone -- I've used docker-compose for some personal projects but I can't figure out how to get the CLI to work without having the desktop app open. Is it simply supposed to work like that?

Do you get the old docker daemon not running?

You need to be running docker desktop, it controls the docker daemon that docker-compose works on. In fact, it's even been integrated with the docker CLI now: docker compose up --build

Really cool. I feel like the readme guy, but does it make sense to document the existence of it in the robot-server or tippy top readme?

Dang, READMEGUY, I was just about to do that!!!

One more bit of wondering, it seems like we could have lots of Docker possibilities. Is the idea that we stick whatever we want to be runnable in the container and use compose to run those services? Seems like a nice means of having a single container that can do anything in our vast store of monorepo possibilities.

Yes, and specify docker-compose to define entry points and env variables. It's not the only pattern, but it works.
