The goal here is to be able to build an agate container (in CI). It should just include agate and be configurable (enough) so that we can run the container with the right settings.

This is WIP while I work out exactly how we are going to get this deployed and I expect there will be some iterating.

Details

This is the contents of the container that gets created.

Hi @warrickball, this is in draft but it might be worth you having a scan through to see if you've any thoughts about this.
This is in the context of running agate on Kubernetes, to do that we need an image somewhere we can pull. This PR should be adding what we require in a minimal agate image.

Standalone it isn't very useful but I'm hopeful I might be able to get it to work with a local Kubernetes setup.

Source looks fine (bearing in mind my limited Django experience) and I've just commented on a few details. I've built the container easily with Podman myself and reproduced your example in the PR description. I haven't fully run it (I stopped short of creating a Postgres database) but it looks good to me so far. Let me know if there's anything in particular I should run in order to test more thoroughly.

Hi @warrickball, thanks for looking at this. I'm not sure there is much more to test at the moment here. If we can get this merged into main (and #25) then I think the next thing would be to add the CI to build and push the image to ghcr. Let me know if you have any more comments on this particular PR.
