[ENH] - Smooth the developer setup process

[kcpevey]

Feature description

If you are a developer who is working on a new feature in the conda-store-ui. The pattern is to

• create a new conda env

  conda create --name conda-store-ui
  conda activate conda-store-ui
  conda install -c conda-forge yarn nodejs==16.14.2

• create an .env file with the appropriate values
• [if on a mac] change all instances of port 5000 to 8080 in docker-compose-dev.yml and docker/assets/conda_store_config.py
• launch the docker container docker compose up -d
• launch the webpack ui

  yarn install
  yarn run build
  yarn run start

The old UI version of the UI from the latest build will then be available on 5000 (or 8080) at http://localhost:5000/conda-store/ or http://localhost:8080/conda-store/.

The new dev version will be available on http://localhost:5001/ or http://localhost:8081/

Value and/or benefit

There are some things I think we could improve here

• an environment-dev.yml to set up the env
• resolve the 5000 on mac problem
• get the docker compose to launch the new ui (I'm not sure I fully understand the process here)
• explain what is using the values in the .env file and how it relates to the docker-compose file and the new ui (i.e. why do I set 8080 in the .env but the new UI shows up on 8081?)

Some of these are just documentation, but some are improvements to the workflow in general. We may need to break these out into separate issues.

Anything else?

Changing the default port in conda-incubator/conda-store#642 will work towards this. There are additional things that need to be done. @dcmcand to look at later this issue has multiple things asked and needs to be broken up.

[kcpevey]

Chuck will focus on breaking down into separate issues and then move forward.

Consider the standalong implementation - discuss with @nkaretnikov

@kcpevey , this mainly references conda-store-ui. Should this be moved to the conda-store-ui repo?

[dcmcand]

Current status:

• [ ] an environment-dev.yml to set up the env (#338 )
• [X] resolve the 5000 on mac problem (resolved by conda-incubator/conda-store#642)
• [ ] get the docker compose to launch the new ui (#337 )
• [ ] explain what is using the values in the .env file and how it relates to the docker-compose file and the new ui (#336)

I think we have some discussion needed about whether this belongs in this repo or the https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store-ui repo and what the scope for each project is.
