Add Dockerfiles and document usage #489

Closed MarionBWeinzierl closed 5 months ago

MarionBWeinzierl commented 5 months ago

This PR fixes #482 . We are

[x] Adding Dockerfiles for serial and parallel build.
[x] Updating the documentation to explain their usage.
[x] Considering the use of Docker Hub to deploy the Docker image.

Consideration about the style and usage of the Dockerfile can be found in the discussion on #482.

I have added some documentation as well. Regarding the use of Docker Hub: I think we agree that we will not do it right now, but might consider it in future.

@einola @timspainNERSC The Dockerfiles at the moment still copy over the code and do not check the repository out. This is what I explain in the docs, too.

Would you prefer me to change this and have them checkout the code instead?

That's ok, and we can leave it like this for now. I would very much like inputs from people actually using the docker files on how they use them - but that's step 2 ;)
