Windows local developer environment support

[danivpv]

PR message

Summary

This pull request adds a Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and .dockerignore files to minimize developer setup time and standardize the development environment. These changes are essential for ensuring consistency across different operating systems, especially given some library dependencies on Linux OS.

Usage

To test the setup, populate the .env file with GITHUB_TOKEN and FIREWORKS_API_KEY as key=value pairs, then use the following commands:

docker compose build
docker compose up

Motivation

I made these modifications after encountering OS-dependent library issues while working on Windows. Implementing Docker helps to overcome these OS-specific challenges, providing a more uniform development experience.

Inquiry & Suggestions

Before introducing additional features, I believe it's important to standardize the environment. However, I've noticed that there isn't a dedicated development branch or a clear feature roadmap. I'm curious about plans to scale the features and whether you’re open to supporting an open-source collaborative effort. Could we discuss the roadmap? I'm interested in exploring opportunities such as agent ops, integrating OpenAI's advanced voice model, refactoring code, and removing bark models, as these can complicate local development without a GPU.

Question

On the dockerfile some lines are commented since they introduce breaking changes in the file's structure of the gradio interface.

• Would making the container have admin rights be a security issue?
• If not do you mind leaving it like this to work on the roadmap and other features?

BTW. In my local env I added .txt file support and removed bark models since I don't have a GPU. Im eager to refactor and improve the prompt structure with agents to have them iteratively refine the conversation transcript of the podcast through a writer and critic framework with autogen or crewai. BUT before pushing these changes to UI, LLMs, etc... I need to know whether you mind the changes or have some of your own.
