Make development easier

[max-wittig]

Describe the problem

While trying to setup the development environment to tackle #11467, I noticed how difficult it is to setup the environment.

I ran into my dependency problems, as we don't have a dependency manager here so a virtualenv needs to be used with a specified version of Python.

And now I'm stuck on this issue, while running weblate migrate. I have no idea why it tries to open an LDAP connection on migrate. I'm familiar with Django setups, but this is a bit different.

django.db.utils.OperationalError: connection failed: could not initiate GSSAPI security context: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information: Cannot find KDC for realm "AX001.MYCOMPANY.NET"
connection to server at "127.0.0.1", port 5432 failed: FATAL:  database "weblate" does not exist

Then I thought, maybe let's just use the docker-compose setup for a simple fix and there I need to create docker-compose.override.yml.

I think this project would benefit from a zero-setup start just to develop it.
