Update to latest versions

Add git to the Docker file

Need to add git to the Docker file to support changelog revision and date in the latest version of ivoatex.

Move the Dockerfile to the top level

Given that the whole purpose of this project is to create a Docker container, it would make sense to move the Dockerfile to the top level directory.

Fix the empty user name when run in Docker

When we run the container in Docker we need to supply a uid so that files created inside the container don't end up being owned by root outside the container.

docker run \
    --user 1000 \
    ....

This means the shell inside the container is run with uid 1000, but there is no matching entry in the user or group database, so the shell prints a warning about the group and sets the user name to I have no name!.

groups: cannot find name for group ID 1000
I have no name!

There is nothing wrong with running a process using a uid and gid with no description, they are just numbers, but it would be good to avoid the warning and set the user name to something sensible.

Make the text directory the user home directory

Make the text directory the user home directory, removing the need for the pushd to start editing.

Add code of conduct and contributor agreement

Many open source projects are adding these to their projects. Should we do the same ?

• code of conduct
• contributor agreement

Register this aplication in OSSR

Use this as a worked example of how to register containerised applications in the ESCAPE OSSR.

• Create a metadata file
• Automate the build of the binary image
• Publish container images as in GitHub
• Register a snapshot in Zendo
• Register in OSSR

Simplify the path

Simplify the document path from

/var/local/texdata

to just

/texdata
