Proposal: Add a Fly.io deplyoment

[gedw99]

Needs a docker file

then can use flyctl to deploy to Fly.io.

then can run on many data centers and all requests will load balance.

[gedw99]

fly can act as the docker registry too btw.

takes 300 ms to doot a docker on fly. But you cant use docker compose. Only docker..

Any DB we need should be postresql or cockroach. then you get free master / master replication only fly.io ... Saves your tons of time...

fly-db-create:
    # works :)
    # feed it the vars i want ( using everything but snapshot size)

fly-db-create-rpl:
    # works :)
    # walk through.. 
    flyctl postgres create
    # then save in the makefile vars or .env

I signed up for fly.io (without a credit card tho) and tried to deploy the server, but didnt seem to manage it. Im not too sure how fly works or how to create a docker image. But I've tested the Dockerfile locally and it works.
