Use Docker? How? Which user to run the application server on? Directory structures? Where to store configuration files, binaries etc.?

I'm not sure if this has one single answer, and picking which one to include is difficult...

Probably there could be a few different setups (new hotness mvp monolith, mature dockerized microservices, etc)? Best not to go into directory structures mostly I think because the chosen setup or backend tech is bound to dictate that in some way.
