Redesigned the Docker setup to enhance project structure and configuration management. Changes include a more organized directory structure within the Docker container, separating source code, project metadata, and licenses explicitly to the `/app` directory for better clarity and management. Additionally, integrated `pantalaimon` as a dependency service in `docker-compose.yml`, enabling secure communication with Matrix services by automatically managing settings and configurations through mounted files. This setup simplifies the development environment setup and streamlines deployments.
Introduced Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to encapsulate GPTBot into a Docker container. This simplifies deployment and ensures consistent environments across development and production setups. The Dockerfile outlines the necessary steps to build the image, incl. setting up the working directory, copying the current directory into the container, installing all dependencies, and defining the command to run the bot. The docker-compose.yml file further streamlines the deployment process by specifying service configuration, leveraging Docker Compose version 3.8 for its extended feature set and compatibility.
By containerizing GPTBot, we enhance portability, reduce set-up times for new contributors, and minimize "works on my machine" issues, fostering a more robust development lifecycle.
