building redpanda in docker

This is what I have so far, it runs on linux (ubuntu 20.04), but not on my macbook air. Macbook air, using docker-desktop, complains about stdout getting clipped and hangs. For the mac, I guess this means I need docker buildx?

What does the dev/debug workflow look like currently for most current redpanda devs? Are most folks developing inside docker containers? local-dev on mac? local-dev on ubuntu? Trying to get my head around what everyone's dev setup looks like. @senior7515

we have a very large build system internally that is honestly quite honerous for OSS. it compiles the compiler and takes 8 hours to bootstrap :D

so externally we rely on community contributions like yours. The basic building script is what we have today, but would love PRs for it. so def consider contributing updates to the build system.

generally we have dedicated linux machines. we all run fedora33 or latest ubuntu and compile with clang-11 (or 12 whatever is latest) for production
