allows loading a local csv file

[dcasati]

On this PR -

• allows for mounting a volume on the host machine and loading that CSV file into the Radar - added a sample csv file for tests. This is located under /opt/bring-your-own-radar/sheets/radar.csv
• flex CORS restrictions on the local NGINX to be able to serve the CSV files from the same location.
• modified the Dockerfile to reflect these changes.

This should address common scenarios as described on #163 , #159, #133

For a quick test while an official docker image isn't in place:

$ docker pull  dcasati/build-your-own-radar
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -e SERVER_NAMES="localhost 127.0.0.1" -v /mnt/radar/sheets/:/opt/build-your-own-radar/sheets dcasati/build-your-own-radar
$ open http://localhost:8080

This will:

1. spawn a server that will listen locally on port 8080
2. mount the host volume on /mnt/radar/sheets/ into the container on /opt/build-your-own-radar/sheets/.
3. open http://localhost:8080 and for the URL piece '(Enter the URL of your Google Sheet of CSV file bellow...)' type: http://localhost:8080/sheets/${NAME_OF_YOUR_SHEET}.csv - it needs to be a csv file.

You can now work locally on your machine, updating the csv file, rendering the result back on your browser.

Very nice PR! Helped me a lot to get the project started locally and not wasting time to setup local file upload.

Keep in mind to change the volume mount path according to your setup. I put in directly into the src directory. ($pwd for windows)

$ ... -v $pwd/src/sheets/:/opt/build-your-own-radar/sheets ...

Hi @dcasati whenI used this url in chrome, it use to just dl's the .csv and didnt render any JS. Now it renders just the csv no radar. Any tips? I used /tmp/sheets instead of your /mnt/radar/sheets/

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -e SERVER_NAMES="localhost 127.0.0.1" -v /tmp/sheets/:/opt/build-your-own-radar/sheets --platform linux/amd64 docker.io/dcasati/bring-your-own-radar

http://localhost:8080/sheets/sheet.csv just renders the csv in the browser, no radar is displayed. Any tips?

@lulubobst Not sure if you figured it out. However, just for posterity. You should not put the URL in your browser address bar. Instead http://localhost:8080/sheets/sheet.csv needs to be put in the "Enter the URL of your Google Sheet or CSV file below…" text box. After this, upon clicking "Build my radar" generates the radar without any errors. @dcasati Thanks a lot. Best fork out there for this repo!
