WIP: Add dockerfile with dependencies. Display redirection does nto w…

Dockerfile is there with (hopefully) all dependencies. It can be built and run from the root of the project by issuing the following command: docker build -t aihub . && docker run aihub This builds the image and attempts to start it. What you should see is as follows:

• Image should grab all the dependencies.
• Should try to start the application which is at the moment failing on not being able to connect to the display. This has to be set up and forwarded through docker runtime. The particular error message I see:

Try one of the following resolutions:

 * Please make sure that you have an X server running, and that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly
Traceback (most recent call last):

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't connect to display ":0"

Additional observation: The requirement file has to be cleaned up as it contains some Mac specific transitive dependencies that, obviously, do not fly on Linux.

I've made it work

Here are the steps:

1. brew install xquartz
2. start xquarz
3. setting/security enable: Allow connections from network clients
4. restart xquarz
5. open xquarz terminal, and /opt/X11/bin/xhost + 127.0.0.1
6. refer display in docker like this: ENV DISPLAY host.docker.internal:0

Concerns:

• Connection to local LLM server do not work:
  openai.APIConnectionError: Connection error.
• UI does not look good
• A ton of custom steps, not user firendly
