[Feature request]: Get rid of ruby compilation during ezbake

[bastelfreak]

Use Case

(maye shared action isn't the best place for this issue)

The most time consuming part during the clojure compilation is getting ruby into the container:

https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvoxdb/blob/main/Dockerfile#L9-L11

It would be nice if we could rely on precompiled ruby. And thinking a step further I'm wondering if the whole Dockerfile is required? The build process now runs in GitHub Actions, that provides a clean environment on each run. Maybe we can just get rid of the Docker setup?

Describe the solution you would like

Faster ezbake build times by not compiling ruby.

The idea with the Dockerfile is that you’d build it once and just reuse that image for subsequent builds. With GHA, we should probably either use job steps to put stuff in place (the Ruby setup GHA step is waaaaaay faster), or build an image and store it in GitHub and just use that each time.

I think it has to build inside an EL-based OS because of rpm build reasons if I’m remembering correctly, so just using the base runner Ubuntu image may not work. But I might be wrong about that, if fpm doesn’t care.
