Docker Support for Self-Hosting

[raphaelbahat]

Description

I would like to request Docker support to make it easier to self-host this application. This would include:

Requested Features

1. Docker Image

   • A Dockerfile that builds a container image for the Global Threat Map application
   • Support for easy deployment without manual setup

2. Docker Compose File

   • A docker-compose.yml file that orchestrates the application and any dependencies
   • Simplified local development and production deployment

3. Documentation

   • Instructions on how to self-host using Docker
   • Environment variable configuration guide
   • Port mapping and networking documentation
   • Instructions for persistence and data management (if applicable)

Benefits

• Easier self-hosting for users without complex setup procedures
• Consistent environment across different machines
• Simplified deployment process
• Better isolation and security

Additional Notes

This would significantly improve the accessibility of self-hosting this application and reduce deployment barriers.

So I made this PR in order to create a basic docker image in order to fullfill you request.

in order to set it up and running, fill the dot_env file with your API keys and just run docker compose up -d and your app shoud be good to go. Just open your browser on 127.0.0.1:3000 and the app should appear.

The dot_env file follows the exact architecture of the variables already documented in the README.md

you can change the port you want to expose by changing the last line of the compose.yaml file according to the following scheme <port mapped on the host>:<port map in the image>. So if you want your app to be set to another port just say - "<your port>:3000" (as it is the port exposed by the dockerfile).

hope it helps :)
