Attempt to create Electra headless docker wallet

Attempting to build a docker headless image for electra wallet

[nemo83]

Image is built successfully, but it terminates (apparently w/o errors) right after starting... wondering if it's because of the daemon ...

[alediaferia]

If the wallet started successfully you can inspect ~/.Electra/debug.log for more info

Yeah,

I started work on this last night and will come back to this later on.

But feel free to jump in and try to figure out why it terminates straight after docker starts the image.

Steps to reproduce are

1. checkout the branch
2. cd to project root folder
3. run docker build -t electracoin/electra:headless . (this may take a while)
4. create a Electra.conf in your ~/.Electra (you can re-use the one from the project)
5. start the docker image docker run -d -v ~/.Electra:/root/.Electra electracoin/electra:headless

You can notice how prints the container id and then terminates right after.... :-(

Added workaround. seems to be working. Will confirm once the full blockchain has been downloaded.

Right, thanks to @alediaferia that found out that by simply deleting the line daemon=1 from the Electra.conf fixed the issue.

I'm so happy we have a Electra-qt running in docker.

Please do not merge yet as I need to update documentation et cetera and maybe provide env vars to configure wallet at launch time.

@alediaferia @AlejandroVera I've updated the PR with some findings and I've also updated documentation. This is ready to be re-reviewed and merged.

This is ready to be shipped
