[BUG] Dockerfile ENV BASIC_MEMORY_HOME missing dot in path #175

Description

@groksrc

Bug Description

The Dockerfile contains a typo in the BASIC_MEMORY_HOME environment variable. It's missing a dot (.) in the path, pointing to /root/basic-memory instead of /root/.basic-memory.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. View the current Dockerfile
  2. Look at the ENV declaration for BASIC_MEMORY_HOME
  3. Notice it's set to /root/basic-memory (missing the dot)

Expected Behavior

The environment variable should be:

ENV BASIC_MEMORY_HOME=/root/.basic-memory \

Actual Behavior

The environment variable is currently:

ENV BASIC_MEMORY_HOME=/root/basic-memory \

Environment

  • Docker version: N/A (build-time issue)
  • Basic Memory version: Latest
  • Installation method: Docker

Additional Context

Basic Memory expects its home directory to be a hidden directory with a dot prefix (.basic-memory), following Unix conventions for application configuration directories.

Possible Solution

Simple fix: Add the missing dot to make it /root/.basic-memory
