Explore ability to help quickly setup a JupyterHub on non-ubuntu machines #32

I want to explore if we can wrap TLJH or similar by running it in Docker, so that we can make more basement servers or similar transform into JupyterHubs.

This reminds me a bit of some of the conversation here: executablebooks/jupyter-book#765 on connecting with JupyterBook

@lheagy indeed - there is a certain class of user that would benefit from a "turn-key" image that could be run via some kind of container tech. With JupyterHub this might be useful, though the trick will be getting the "defaults" correct because I suspect a challenge will be that such a deployment would be more difficult to customize etc. (or rather, that the kind of person that needs a deployment like this and can't run their own Dockerfile is also the kind of person that would have trouble modifying a deployment like this if they needed non-trivial changes)
