Add docker build support #27
Conversation
The Dockerfile builds the frontend and backend as two separate stages and combines them in a slim runtime image. The example env file works as a local configuration for testing or development.
Will build the docker image and push it to github's container registry. Triggered manually with a workflow dispatch.
If the `PINGING_PUBLIC_WEBRTC_ADDR` is set with an unspecified IP value (`0.0.0.0`), attempt to automatically detect the public IP address of the server.

I added a couple of other changes to this PR that I wanted for my specific use case. One lets the app automatically determine the public IP, and the other adds the IP to the front-end display (to help distinguish which server in a cluster is in use). If you want the docker changes but not these other changes, let me know, and I can break them out and continue to use my own fork. |

Thanks for the improvements. I don't have much experience with docker but what you have looks good to me. The public-ip stuff looks good too. I think its fine for pinging.net to display the IP address (its already small and at the bottom). I am curious what your planned usage is if you are able to share. No worries if not. Thanks again. |
My company is building a new A/V streaming & broadcasting solution. I wanted an extra way for our alpha testers to check their connectivity to our servers. I'm deploying this alongside our services on the same infrastructure, so if users hit a specific address they can see the pinging report and let us know if they are seeing any issues. |
These changes add a Dockerfile and config example for running with Docker. The readme is updated with example commands. I also added a github workflow that will build the docker image and deploy it to the GitHub container registry for the project.
