Why not Docker for the playground?

[Mohammed Al-Safwan]

Describe the feature you'd like

I'm wondering why there is no dockerfile or a docker-compose.yml for this repo.
It would be nice to allow more new comers to hit one command and start the playground.

Describe alternatives you've considered

create a Dockerfile to host playground:

# Use the official Haskell image as the base image
FROM haskell:8.10

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Clone the Plutus repository
RUN git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus.git /app/plutus

# Change the working directory to the Plutus repository
WORKDIR /app/plutus

# Checkout the specific commit or branch if necessary
# Replace "COMMIT_HASH" with the specific commit hash or "BRANCH_NAME" with the specific branch name
# RUN git checkout COMMIT_HASH
# RUN git checkout BRANCH_NAME

# Update Cabal
RUN cabal update

# Build the Plutus Playground server
RUN cabal build plutus-playground-server

# Build the Plutus Playground client
RUN cd plutus-playground-client \
    && npm install \
    && npm run build

# Expose the server port
EXPOSE 8080

# Start the Plutus Playground server
CMD ["cabal", "run", "plutus-playground-server", "--", "--node-server", "${CARDANO_NODE_HOST_URL}"]

create a docker-compose.yml to handle the playground and cardano-node:

version: "3.8"
services:
  cardano-node:
    container_name: cardano-node-${NETWORK:-preview}
    image: inputoutput/cardano-node:${CARDANO_NODE_VERSION:-latest}
    ports:
      - ${CARDANO_NODE_PORT:-3001}:3001
    volumes:
      - node-db:/data/db
      - node-ipc:/ipc
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: "200k"
        max-file: "10"
    networks:
      - playground-network

  plutus-playground:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - "plutus-data:/app/plutus"
    environment:
          - CARDANO_NODE_HOST_URL=http://cardano-node-${NETWORK:-preview}:${CARDANO_NODE_PORT:-3001}
    networks:
      - playground-network

volumes:
  node-db:
  node-ipc:
  plutus-data:

networks:
  playground-network:
