Build the Docker Image

Additional context
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, run on WSL

I think none of the contributors is using the docker image right now (and this has probably been the case for several years), so it is probably quite outdated, it would make sense that it's trying to use an unsupported old debian version as indicated the the link you shared.

The same thing is probably happening with most other library versions like python, the different PPLs... It probably needs significant work before it can be used nowadays.

Hi @OriolAbril , Can you assign this issue to me, if not solved yet?

[blooop]

I also get the same error.

I started fixing the first error and fixed a couple more later on, but I was not able to fully fix the dockerfile.

This is my work in progress branch.

main...blooop:arviz:bugfix/update_dockerfile_setup

I won't be continuing to work on it, because I don't need to use the docker container after all, but leaving it here in case its helpful for anyone else.

Thanks for the example @blooop. Since none of the devs use containers for development, this feature will most likely be deprecated and removed in the future. If the community decides we need to have a container for development, then we will revisit this issue and create a new Containerfile.

I'll leave this issue open for now, but we will discuss it internally and make a decision about moving it to a discussion.
