Mount source code instead of copying into container #5

Closed ebreton closed 7 years ago

Use case: As a developer, I want to be able to edit the code from my host with my favorite IDE. The container should take into account my modifcations on the fly.

I have made two changes to allow this:

Change web/Dockerfile to declare a VOLUME for the /usr/src/app folder
Change docker-compose.yml to mount the local file system on the container volume
