add per default an example "software component" in the new installed BASIL instance

it would be nice if you could add per default an example "software component" in the new installed BASIL instance to better understand the principle and possibilities of BASIL

As the basil.db sqlite3 database (that is the default persistence that BASIL is using, but you can select a different one, like MySQL as an example) is built at the time of the Container build it is a bit tricky to inject default complex examples there.
For sure, it is not impossible.
What if we create examples in the ELISA instance at http://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu:9056?
Moreover I would like to create instructional videos to describe the tool capabilities.
Do you think those 2 proposals can be helpful in respect of your suggestion?

if you can register there as user which has permission to view everything / create it's own example, why not.
But as there is no password reset and every new user email gets published publicly, I would not vote for this at the moment.

Videos are nice, but I personally prefer to play around on my own with new tools, before I decide if I want to use them or not as usability is a big thing for me.

We could backup the db, with the in #33 (comment) mentioned bash file which is also used to setup a demo server, modify the db outside of docker / add there the demo content and then add it back inside docker, as described here https://forums.docker.com/t/accessing-a-db-inside-a-docker-container/116106/6

The mentioned bash script would not only simplify the setup, but also allow to easily load a demo database.
