Testing

In order to test, first clone this repository and navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile. Build the Dockerfile from docker build -t cybergis .. Then, run docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/root cybergis. In index.html, all instances of https://midware.cigi.illinois.edu:500 and wss://midware.cigi.illinois.edu:500 should be replaced with http://localhost:500 and ws://localhost:500 respectively. Furthermore, the provided ssl_context parameter must be removed from the app.run function at the bottom of app.py. Start the webserver with python3 app.py and then open index.html. Before the full release of CyberGIS Cloud, testing on the web server can be considered.
