This can be changed, but just wanted a registry to store the image. I also have some Github Actions scripts I can add in to auto build and upload on PRs, manually, and/or on commit to master
| COPY . . | ||
| RUN yarn --network-timeout 100000 | ||

| EXPOSE 1212 |

Might need to expose more ports to allow communication like 8081 or the environmental variable ${PORT} could be handled with the ARG/ENV Dockerfile annotations

I think it should only need a single exposed port to talk to the server on the RPi. The DPU/calibrations scripts that get kicked off via the GUI communicate with the RPi through the same port (<evolver_ip>:8081 by default). The GUI also needs to be able to access the file system of the machine its running on and any mounted drives.
Locations of python scripts being run:

And the relevant DPU scripts which are run:
