Reports

Many thanks for all the comments and answers, they did help! I got it working. I did have to go through the dependencies and make sure they worked, hence the monstrosity below. This Dockerfile is based on trial and error and also parts of various Dockerfiles I found online, including the official (but old) Cro docker images.

I think there are a few issues behind the problems:

Name space problems in Raku with the Digest lib. I had to poke around and find the updated lib that fixed this.
Some unspecified issue with zef that seems to cause it to fail intermittently when running in an Ubuntu docker image. I could not get zef to run all the installs as one command, I had to do it in single RUN commands to get it to work. Puzzling. It makes the resulting docker image very big so I will probably pull these commands into a bash script and run that.
Some libs do not want to install from the default repo (raku.land?) so I had to pull these directly from GitHub.

It needs more work, but it does start the webapp. I have more issues, but not docker :)
