Installation via docker obtains `django-raster` from user's repo

When installing via docker-compose -f local.yml up -d --build the raster functionality is obtained from @henhuy's repo as defined here (local mode):

The used version is 0.8.1 which is also available on pypi and should be replaced.

That's not possible. @henhuy wrote a patch for django-raster which never got merged into the original author's main branch (his PR is still open). The custom install points to a patched version (branch: djagora) in @henhuy's forked repo. His patched version should be used. I further improved the installation experience by including the patched dependency into the pyproject.toml, no need for an extra install step anymore. Will do PR now.

Thanks for this clarification and improved installation. It's a pity that it hasn't made its way into the original codebase yet.

I think this is ok for now but makes it impossible for us to publish our package on pypi in the future as only native pypi packages are allowed in the requirements (but no repos) - as far as I know.

I would say, a little bit more effort, but not impossible. geodesign/django-raster/ looks pretty abandoned. If the original author doesn't move, we could e.g. rename @henhuy's fork to django-rasteri - "i" for improved -, transfer the repo to the RLI org and publish our own package on PyPI. The beauty of open source 😉

Edit: further names suggestions, django-rastery, django-raster-v2

on the other hand, I would not consider publishing it on pypi, as it is neither a library nor a framework (as it contains specific data not a generalized version of the tool). Nevertheless, If we would have a clean version of the tool (framework-style) this would be a important topic!

I talked to henhuy. We will touch this topic only, if we extract a clean version (framework, lib) of this project. Because this is not planned (for now) is will close this issue. Housekeeping.
