Extend the provided Dockerfile for your own projekt. Local files for development can be used within the docker by moving them into the src folder.
Additional packages can be installed within the Global Dependencies step within the Dockerfile, using apt and pip.
If you need to install dependencies from source add them to the dependency workspace within the Dockerfile.\

Ensure that you give your docker a meaningful name and adjust the tag to your used setup. These changes must be done within the build_docker.sh and start_docker.sh file.
