Description

• Dockerfile should have steps to clone the repository and download StanfordCoreNLP.
• Dockerfile should be pushed to DockerHub with readme.
• Would require change in the setup documentation.

Modified scope

• Account for changes in .env file to reflect in config.py while making sure that the code can be run with and without Docker setup

Only thing I found that kinda satisfies what we’re trying to do is Docker App. Something we haven’t discussed and am totally new to. Would we like to try using that? @vishakha-lall @athityakumar @janakrajchadha

Using parameters.yml also looks like a cool way to implement .env

How about we try the current approach, this would require some more study.

The .env file will not reside in the codebase. We can add a template to create the same in our repository to help users create it locally. The user would require tp manually create this before running docker-compose up Here’s the documentation around this. With the environment variables set here, we would set the values in config.py. While the file could also be completely done with, it currently has references in other scripts. Depreciating the config.py file will not be a scope of this issue.

@chttrjeankr did you find a workaround of how we could potentially push the docker-compose.yml file to the DockerHub repository? Or do we have an alternate process for this?
