Description

I had a lot of problems deploying the GTN locally on my managed laptop, without admin rights (so no `sudo`). Github codespaces was of help (but is limited in time, not local, Github dependent,...) but believe that a local, more OS-agnostic, non-sudo way of statically building the website should exists out there (devcontainers?) which would be of tremendous help to lower the barrier for contributions (in my humble perspective).

I would like to take a look myself and see if it's possible and ideally contribute it back [here](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/contributing/tutorials/rendering_gtn/tutorial.html) one day but already putting the issue out there for anyone else to check out and perhaps contribute to.

Research direction

Start with the rendering GTN tutorial linked in the issue and compare its local deployment steps with GitHub Codespaces. Investigate whether a non-sudo, OS-agnostic static build using devcontainers is feasible; done means contributors can build locally without admin rights.
