Description

Summary: Currently the docker file is generated from cloning the focalboard repo, having the posibility of use a path in your filesystem to build it would be a great addition. (This idea comes from the #168 PR)

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Some users can want to create the docker file base on its own local source code.

Contributor guide

Research direction
