Add Dockerfile

[ferryman0608]

Type of Change: Feature
Explanation: In an effort to support the project's reach and user experience, I've developed a Dockerfile with the aim of streamlining the setup process and ensuring consistent environments across different platforms. This initiative is part of a larger project I'm working on, which leverages large language models to automatically generate Dockerfiles tailored for specific projects.

Usage:
Place the Dockerfile in the root directory of the project;
Run the following command in the root directory of the project to build the image: docker build -t <image_name> . ;
Run the following command to run the container: docker run -it <image_name> bash;

Attached to this PR is the Dockerfile I've proposed. I’m fully open to discussing any aspects of it and am willing to make necessary adjustments to better align with your project's goals and practices.

Thank you very much for considering this contribution.

I'm not a contributor to this code base, but I hope this review is helpful.

First off, I'm running Ubuntu 22.10. I'm also running Docker version 24.0.5, build ced0996.

Following your instructions, docker builds successfully:

docker build -t sqlite_test .

As your instructions suggest, I'm also able to connect to run a shell on the container.

As a new user of this repository, I do find your addition of this Dockerfile to improve my user experience. That being the case, I suggest you copy your documentation from the pull-request message to somewhere more persistent, obviously following contribution standards (which I haven't personally finished reviewing).

As a new user, I'd be very interested in documentation providing a some examples of suggested use patterns. For example, how could I use this docker image in sqlite development? Might this docker support help me use sqlite in another project?

Anyway, awesome work.

Is there some reason you're checking out this tag twice?

[ferryman0608]

There is no other reason, simply because this Dockerfile is what we instructed the LLM to generate, and there may be a lack of checking for this step after the build.

[ds2643]

Dockerfile is what we instructed the LLM to generate

I think there's missing context that you could document in the pull-request message.

[ds2643]

I don't assume you intend this Dockerfile to be distributed as a standalone artifact. Assuming you're fine with this file being stored at the root of this repository, you could just copy the files you need (including git files) and copy those contents into /sqlite. Alternatively, you might assume the developer checks out the tag they want before building the docker image. As a new contributor, I'd be surprised that a particular version is enforced by the Dockerfile.

[ferryman0608]

One of the features of our tool is that it allows the user to select a specific version when the tool starts running, so this version can be changed.

[ds2643]

our tool

Which tool?

[ds2643]

Why do you need to change directory into /sqlite after already setting WORKDIR?

[ferryman0608]

For the same reason as mentioned above, what we do is guide the LLM to generate, but it doesn't completely determine what it outputs. The purpose of our job is to help novice users get started with a project quickly.

[ds2643]

Oh, so you're using AI to generate this Dockerfile? I guess we really aren't necessary.

[ds2643]

Seems like a sane default, but should this port be configurable?

[ferryman0608]

This port is a configurable value. It can be specified by the user before the tool starts running. If the user does not specify it, the tool looks for a possible port in the project file, and if it does not find one, it uses the default port. After the Dockerfile is generated, you can also modify the port number according to your needs.

[ds2643]

I would argue that the configurability of the port is worth documenting.

@ferryman0608, I noticed that this repository is a mirror. I'm not sure you'll get adequate review from project maintainers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to find the original repository address.

Yes, good luck. Again, I'm not a project maintainer, just some random programmer. The pull-request traffic on this repository is small relatively to the ubiquity of sqlite.

If you are reading this on GitHub or some other Git repository or service, then you are looking at a mirror.

This might be the canonical version control, but I can't find pull-request traffic.
