Removal of Docker Containers

[fdefalco]

General announcement on the removal of the docker container specifications from this repository.

This repository is intended to contain an R package called Achilles that runs characterization analyses on a CDM standardized database. After discussing with the prior maintainer it was determined that images to manage configuration and execution of R packages would be maintained separate from the package itself. I'm fully supportive of having a way to enable the work people are trying to do with Achilles, and identify approaches or create repositories as necessary. As it stands, the replacement solution is https://github.com/OHDSI/OHDSI-in-a-Box.

So the way forward would be to move the Dockerfile (which needs to be modified to instead clone the Achilles repo on build) and the docker-run to the OHDSI-in-a-box repo and setup GitHub Actions to build and push the image?

We could automate the process so the image is build everytime there's a new tag/release in this repo using eg. https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate - it's what I'm using over at https://github.com/chgl/kube-powertools to stay up-to-date on external releases.

Yes, something like that sounds like it would work and I am willing to setup whatever actions are required in this repo to notify things downstream.
