Could we have a docker image to run this

Would it be useful to package this in a docker image to make it easier to test without installing node.js and other dependencies?

Hi @mikeysan, great idea 👍 !
Yes, in my opinion, it would make it easier on new contributors to test the app locally and mess around. Currently we are thinking about changing Firebase Firestore into another DB (you can check out the discussion here).

So, we might postpone this idea of dockerizing EddieBotUI for later. What do you think @mikeysan ?

Hey, @BOLT04 sounds like a great idea to postpone it. I believe Eddie mentioned something to that effect, but I thought I would open the issue while I still remembered to do so.

EddieBot has a Docker PR by @stemount which looks great. I just need to switch some envars around. Once we have 1 dockerised, it will be easier to do more 👍 .
