Containerize backend app and MySQL database.

Description

Firstly, I created a container for the NodeJS backend in the Dockerfile. Secondly, utilized docker-compose to deploy the backend container and MySQL container. Important to note, that the dev and test databases are created using db/init.sql. Seeding and migration are done only on the first run using entrypoint.sh which creates CONTAINER_FIRST_STARTUP inside the container to track whether initialization needs to occur.

Fixes # (issue)

I followed the commands added in the server/README.md but I'm having some issues getting it running. I'm getting the following output from myclassroom_backend, could I be doing something wrong here?

I don't think it's related to anything you did; Might just be a machine difference. Just pushed an update to use legacy authentication and we'll see if that fixes it

Looks great to me, tested and fully working!
