Research direction

Start by reviewing the Docker build command shown in the issue and the linked pull request #611, then compare how other projects choose Docker build contexts. Done means the server containers can be built from the intended directory without relying on the monorepository root, with the relevant behavior validated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement server

Currently, the server docker containers all expect to be run from the mono-repository root:

docker build -t basyx-python-server -f Dockerfile ../../..

(where ../../.. is the repository root).
This functional, but arguably somewhat ugly.

Let's discuss the possibility to change this, for example to the ./server directory.
Nevertheless, we should research how other projects do this.
