[FEATURE] DOCKER ADDITION

[S4tvara]

Describe the feature
Add official Docker support to simplify deployment and environment setup. Users should be able to run the project in a containerized environment without needing to manually install dependencies.

Why is this feature needed?

• Provides consistent runtime environments across different systems.
• Makes setup and onboarding easier for contributors and users.
• Enables smooth integration with CI/CD pipelines and cloud platforms.

Proposed solution

• Add a Dockerfile to the repository.
• Provide a docker-compose.yml (optional) for local development and testing.
• Update documentation with steps to build and run the Docker container.

Alternatives considered

• Manual installation of dependencies (current approach), but this is error-prone and inconsistent across systems.

Additional context
This feature would help streamline deployment and testing, particularly in production-like environments.

@SubstantialCattle5,

That’s definitely a great idea! However, I’m a bit unsure if this project can be fully dockerized since it’s mainly a desktop application with a lot of UI components. Docker works best for backend or service-based projects, so it might not fit perfectly here.

If you think it’s feasible and would like to give it a try, let me know — I’d be happy to hand this issue over to you.

Hi @RabindranathChanda,

You can have a dockerized desktop application. It makes things much easier when dealing with different operating systems and their quirks. I don’t really want to work on this issue myself — just pointing out that this repo could benefit from it.

Cheers,
Nilay

@SubstantialCattle5 Oh ok bro.

Would love to give this a try. I have already dockerized some websites. Eg. placement.iiitt.ac.in @RabindranathChanda . If feasible assign this to me.

Hi @AadityaBansal01 I am actively working on it. There are issue with linux based system configuration. :)

@AadityaBansal01 as (@Anurag-Bansode) said, he is already working, so let him do this, You can also create issues if you want, whatever issues you want, but it has to be a legit issue. I will assign you on those....
