Docker

To build the container:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build .

To run the container (if you've installed the defaults):

Versioning

If you enable the PyPi workflow, versioning will happen via dunamai within the Github pipeline.

If instead, you prefer to version your package, please do it via poetry version $(dunamai from any) as recommended in their documentation.
