Aligns installation method with the QLever quickstart guide, which recommends native packages for Debian/Ubuntu. Removes pipx in favor of native apt package repository installation.

Changes

  • Dockerfile: Replace pipx install qlever with native apt package installation

    • Remove pipx and Python dependencies (no longer needed)
    • Add QLever GPG key from packages.qlever.dev
    • Add QLever apt repository to sources list
    • Install qlever via apt install qlever
  • entrypoint.sh: Remove pipx version check

  • test.sh: Remove pipx verification, fix Java version assertion (11 → 17)

  • README.md: Update documentation to reflect native package repository installation method

Installation Method

Following the exact steps from the quickstart guide:

wget -qO - https://packages.qlever.dev/pub.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/qlever.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/qlever.gpg] https://packages.qlever.dev/ $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}") main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qlever.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y qlever

...

You're absolutely right. I've updated the Dockerfile to use the native apt package installation method as specified in the quickstart guide. The implementation now follows the exact steps from https://docs.qlever.dev/quickstart/#debian-and-ubuntu (commit 5ac3cee).
