MULTI-UPDATE: Big Error Cleanup:

Enhanced Docker and Nginx configurations - Can now run frontend either on local dev version OR the docker version;
Improved socket connection handling;
Refactored stream data fetching in VideoPage to properly display stream data;
Chat-Visibility Button moved to ChatPanel so that chat's socket persists when hiding/showing chat;
