[Issue]: AutoGen Studio devcontainer - frontend build requires rsync

kasiprasad commented 7 months ago

Describe the issue

Can't build samples/apps/autogenstudio/frontend - missing rsync.

Followed the instructions in samples/apps/autogenstudio but frontend build seems to require rsync to complete successfully now.

From package.json

"build": "gatsby clean && rm -rf ../autogenstudio/web/ui && PREFIX_PATH_VALUE='' gatsby build --prefix-paths && rsync -a --delete public/ ../autogenstudio/web/ui/",

Steps to reproduce

Open the codebase in an IDE (i.e. VSCode) using any of the provided devcontainers
Navigate to the samples/apps/autogen-studio/frontend directory, install dependencies, and build the UI:
```
  npm install -g gatsby-cli
  npm install --global yarn
  cd frontend
  yarn install
  yarn build
```

Build fails, rsync is not installed in the devcontainer.

/bin/sh: 1: rsync: not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.

not sure whether all of the Dockerfile's or just dev and full should be updated to include rsync in the list of packages installed using apt-get but simply adding rsync to the list and rebuilding the devcontainer fixes the issue.

Thanks for pointing this out @kasiprasad . Adding rsync to the package requirements is a good starting point. It might be even better to figure out build commands that work ootb with most environments (rsync is only used to copy the built UI into the python package.)
