Added the Dockerfile for the GraphGen

[Nick1200000]

This PR introduces a Dockerfile that containerizes the application using the slim version of Python 3.10. It ensures a lightweight, clean, and production-ready environment for running the app.

📦 Key Features
Uses python:3.10-slim as the base image for minimal footprint.

Installs essential system packages (git, build-essential) for dependency builds.

Configures environment variables to prevent .pyc creation and enable unbuffered logging.

Installs Python dependencies from requirements.txt.

Copies application code into the container.

Creates necessary directories for logs and data cache.

Exposes port 7860 and runs the app using python webui/app.py.

🧪 Testing
✅ Verified the container builds successfully locally.

✅ Confirmed the application starts and runs as expected inside the container.

✅ Took screenshots to document successful execution.

Subject: Contribution to GraphGen - Docker Integration and Request for Research Credit

Hi @ChenZiHong-Gavin , @tpoisonooo , @DancingJane , @eveningdong ,

I'm Nikhil, a DevSecOps engineer and a final-year student. I recently contributed to the GraphGen project by containerizing it with Docker (now merged into the main branch).

I came to know that there is ongoing research work or a publication being planned around GraphGen. Since my work enables containerized deployment for smoother experimentation and production use, I was wondering if it would be possible to include my name or contribution credit in any upcoming publication or related acknowledgments.

Please let me know if you'd like any further details about my contribution.

Best regards,
Nikhil Kumar
