Auto-Deploy to IPFS - Githubissues

[x] Node app that automatically deploys and hosts our web page's built assets on IPFS.
[x] Node app also acts as a server, redirecting to the latest build of the app on IPFS + supports getting the IPFS hash for the root asset.
[x] Docker container that wraps the IPFS deploy/host app & the web page's built assets.
[x] VM that runs the docker container + automatically updates it.
[ ] Docker cloud looks at this repo and automatically builds the container.
[ ] Assets on IPFS resolve...
[ ] The domain forwards to the server which forwards to the latest IPFS URL.

Where things stand right now, this is what works and what doesn't.

Works:

A node app in tools/ipfs-auto-deploy/ directory that uploads the web app's assets to IPFS and hosts them in a node running on a server.
Docker container in tools/ipfs-auto-deploy/ that bundles the app's assets & the IPFS deploying node app.
Azure VM setup to look for the docker cloud builds of this container, so when it gets rebuilt (when we push to master), it'll reload the container on the server, and TADA our web app has been deployed to IPFS and there's an IPFS node running in the container serving/propagating the content to the rest of the network.

Borked:

Once uploaded, the assets don't resolve...
Docker cloud won't let me hook it up to the colonportal github org, only personal repos...
