Dockerfile for running Boxes.py on windows

[tinohager]

• Fix wrong cursor on main menu
• Allow build docker on windows with local sources

I wonder if using a bind mount for the sources would be even easier to use. I don't have any experience with docker on Windows but I think that should work even with windows not using bind mounts itself. That way you can continue to work on your local checkout with your local tools while still testing the changes running locally in your container.

[tinohager]

Yes, that would certainly still work. I wanted to test my changes before I make the commit. Since I am otherwise using other programming languages, docker was of course my first choice here. And of course it doesn't help me much if the docker then gets the files from the GitHub repository.

@florianfesti Do you want to implement the change here with the bind mount?

[florianfesti]

May be we can just have both variants in the Dockerfile with one being commented out. default can what ever you find more useful for developing under Windows. I really have no experience with that. My gut instinct tells me the bind mount might be easier to use.

[florianfesti]

I grabbed the other fixes and merged them into the master branch after cleaning them up a bit. So we make some progress on the PR at least.

@florianfesti i have add the infos for the bind mount in the Dockerfile also fix a second issue with python3 files without extension.

docker run -ti -p 4000:8000 -v %cd%/scripts:/boxes/scripts boxes.py

[tinohager]

Sometimes the request from the web server hangs in Docker only when reloading the page comes. But I don't think this is a problem that only occurs under Windows

[jondkelley]

I get this when trying to run the container :(

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/boxes/scripts/boxesserver", line 35, in <module>
    import qrcode
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qrcode'

[florianfesti]

Yes, python3-qrcode is a new dependency. I think I added that to the dockerfile in the repo but you may need to adjust your own copy.
