CloudMind AI - Installation Solution Summary

✅ Problem Solved

Original Request (Russian):

“Придумай способ простой установки этого проекта в среду разработки. Это может быть контейнеризация из docker образа или как-то иначе, реши сам. В итоге, проект должен иметь возможность разворачивания типа “в один клик”, как для тестирования так и для разработки будущими контрибуторами.”

Translation:

“Come up with a simple way to install this project in a development environment. This can be containerization from a docker image or some other way, decide yourself. As a result, the project should have the ability to deploy like ‘one-click’, both for testing and for development by future contributors.”

🎯 Solution Implemented

Complete Docker-based containerization with one-click deployment for:

  • ✅ Testing environment
  • ✅ Development environment
  • ✅ Production deployment
