you can add a RUN go mod download between this and the COPY . . to download dependencies only on changes to go.mod - otherwise make will do so on every run

This feels overall kind of weird to me - like putting a Dockerfile at the root of the rails repository? What similar tools include a dockerfile for running them? Do you normally run tools this way?
I tried to think of similar tools to check, and none have dockerfiles at the root: rails, express, webpack-dev-server, gopls
hugo has a Dockerfile. The main benefit of this is not needing to install golang (which I had to do to test pushup out the first time). If this doesn't seem useful, then I'm fine closing the PR. |

It occurred to me that a practical reason to have a Dockerfile/container image is that Pushup requires Go at runtime to compile the generated project. Someone could use the Pushup container to build their site without needing to install Go explicitly. |

@orenfromberg Can you fix up the conflicts? I'd like to merge this. |

This will fail, because pushup new won't do its thing in a non-empty directory. Please change it to use an argument like myproject.
This branch adds a Dockerfile to potentially reduce friction with installing pushup.
A
Makefilerecipe is added to build the docker image locally until it is hosted on an image repository.The
README.mdincludes a quick start section to run the Pushup CLI. It mounts the current directory and runs the container with the same user/group to preserve file permissions. The Pushup CLI should be able to create the new scaffolding for a project, build it, and run it on localhost:8080.Since the docker container is running go without the user having a home directory, it needs to set GOCACHE to use a hidden directory
.cachein the mounted volume.All feedback is welcome.
