Setup Docker for new VM

[fedenanni]

@kstamatis @kerstarno I am preparing here an overview of the repo. The Docker container would need to:

• install python 3.7
• attach a volume which would contain: a. the content of the word-embs folder, which I did not push to github but it's on the dev VM (currently around 7GB) b. the content of the data folder, same story as above, around 1.2 GB.
• I'll automatise the rest of the deployment, so that when we start the container the web-app will then be automatically ready to be used

I re-adapted the repo (in dev for the moment) and the web-app is now deployable with a few commands, which we can automatise in docker. With Python 3.7, this is the way to set it up:

git clone https://github.com/ArchivesPortalEuropeFoundation/Topic-Detection.git
cd Topic-Detection
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd web-app
python start_api.py

Current update, I have a very initial version of a Docker image where I can start the webapp. I now need to work on:

a) how to make it lighter (in terms of both OS and resources) b) how to make sure it works when scaling up to the real resource and not the demo dataset

@kstamatis @kerstarno Ok - I finally have a version of a Docker container which runs, opens the correct port (5000), receives the query and gets back the results (https://github.com/ArchivesPortalEuropeFoundation/Topic-Detection/commit/a0f80b10c43b16d594e968910a38e5d35c745b14). It currently works in test mode and requires very few resources. I'll test it now from scratch to make sure it works in another environment and if that's the case I just need to work on how to attach the external large-scale resources and then I am done
