Dockerizing KMyMoney to facilitate contributing

[Ivan Perez]

I'm confused. Which development team?

I'm on linux. I'm alone.

It sounds a bit overkill to have to boot (and manage) a separate machine
just for this. All I'm trying to do is install dependencies and anything
else in an isolated environment so that it doesn't "pollute" my normal
machine. I'm also running on Ubuntu 22.04 as my host, which is a bit old.
Using docker I can boot noble or a modern distro, but I don't need the
memory and disk requirements of a full VM.
