feat: production-ready dockerfile and environment variable support - #67
Merged
Conversation
every clap arg now accepts an EMBER_* env var, making it easy to configure the server in containers without wrapper scripts.
excludes target/, bench/, docs/, tests/, clients/, and markdown files from the docker build context.
multi-stage build with bookworm-slim, non-root user (uid 65532), jemalloc via default features, /data volume for persistence, and OCI labels. sets EMBER_HOST=0.0.0.0 for container networking.
