Add dockerfile #24

I believe that evennia has a docker file, so I wonder if it could be possible to create and adapt one image for NOW to be worked on, so it is safer and more manageable to run. I am aware this may be of low priority, so I am researching myself a way of creating one to help!

Hi,

That might be true. To be honest, I haven't progressed in learning Python in the years since this repo was initialized and AmberFennek left the project. I have a vague notion of what Docker is but not sure how to use it. I haven't even connected to NOW in years. You must be a user there?

I am not a user of NOW yet (though I will soon), I came straight from furryMUCK recommended by Tricuspa, and I am interested in this initiative/project. Docker is basically a software that allows a user to compartimentalize software in its own filesystem with proper operating system almost like a virtual machine, but instead of dedicating resources to it, a container just uses what it needs when it needs(in terms of resources). I actually only used docker on a user point of view so this is actually a learning experience for me too.

Interesting. Thank you for the explanation. Maybe I will set aside some time this week to visit NOW again.

Day 2 of research: I found out I can just embed NOW onto evennia image to generate a new one using their instructions, but it is not compatible with the latest version of it yet, so this issue will stay unsolved until NOW is able to migrate onto the latest version of evennia
