For you personally, I'd suggest using a Guix container as described in
guix-env.scm. This is what I'm currently using.

The docker-compose approach is purely experimental at this point. I
wrote it some time back, but I don't use it for my own development work.
The Dockerfiles should work, but are really just intended for running
the test suite in CI than for actual development. This is because they
download the source directly from the master MediaGoblin branch. It
turns out to be complicated to share your local editable source reliably
with the Docker container - there are lots of ways for MediaGoblin to
break depending on the contents of your local development directory.

I believe you're the only one working on it. Thanks for work here!
