[Feat] : Adding Devcontainer Config & Specifications (#75).

[i-Am-GhOsT]

This pull request introduces a .devcontainer folder to the docker/genai-stack repository, aiming to enhance the development environment setup for contributors leveraging Docker-Compose.

Changes Introduced:

Added .devcontainer folder containing:

• devcontainer.json : A configuration file specifying settings for the development container, including extensions, environment variables, and more, to ensure consistent development environments across contributors.
• docker-compose.yml : A YAML file defining the services, networks, and volumes for Docker-Compose, facilitating seamless deployment and scaling of the development environment.

Purpose:

By integrating these files, we streamline the onboarding process for new contributors and ensure a consistent development environment regardless of the local setup. This addition enables contributors to spin up the necessary development environment effortlessly, reducing setup time and potential compatibility issues.

Benefits:

Improved Onboarding: New contributors can quickly set up their development environment by leveraging Docker-Compose.
Consistency: Ensures consistency in the development environment across different contributors' machines.
Ease of Deployment: Simplifies the deployment process with Docker-Compose, allowing for easy scaling and management.

Impact:

This addition optimizes the development workflow, fostering collaboration and accelerating the pace of development by minimizing setup overhead.

Testing:

The changes have been tested locally in a Macbook M1 chipset to ensure compatibility and functionality. However, additional testing from the community is welcome to validate the effectiveness of the setup across various environments.

Documentation:

Will update the project's README.md file to include instructions on utilizing the Devcontainer setup and Docker-Compose integration for seamless development, once changes are reviewed and approved for merge.

Reviewer(s) Requested:

Feedback and review from the community and maintainers(@slimslenderslacks) are highly appreciated to ensure the effectiveness and correctness of the introduced changes.

Closing Notes:

This enhancement aligns with the goal of fostering a collaborative and efficient development environment within the docker/genai-stack project. Your feedback and contributions towards refining this setup are invaluable.
