Simplified docker compose deployment

[ClementNerma]

Hi there!

I've been very interested to use BigCapital, but I'm finding the docker compose deployment process to be too complex.

Basically, you have to clone a 60MB repository with quite a few files, use an alternative docker compose -f ... command to use the production file specifically, and it's "hardcoded" into the repository.

For instance, I want the volumes to point to a specific folder instead of being Docker named volumes. If I modify the production compose file, it will be overriden the next time I git pull this project.

Also, updating the install requires both to pull the repository and then to update the containers.

Would it be possible to have a simplified docker-compose.yml file which contains everything needed without any other dependency, i.e. without needing to clone a repository. This is what most self-hosted projects do and it's a lot easier to maintain in the long run.
