Official, Lightweight Docker Image #931

It would be fantastic if there could be an official, lightweight (based off Alpine preferably) Docker image for WebODF and it's components.

Lots of people are hesitant to install and maintain apps (Especially NodeJS app servers) directly onto servers and having the ability to quickly spin up WebODF as a docker image on one or many servers not only greatly simplifies the install and deployment process, but can add a layer of security when coupled with SELinux and proper cgroup isolation. (Note: I am not saying that Docker itself adds security).

Node and Docker have a quick getting started that may help you out here: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/nodejs-docker-webapp/ that tutorial isn't too bad, it will result in a Debian Jessie based image, but a lightweight one - really the only thing that could be better than that is an Alpine based image, but that could be a future milestone.

Regardless if all that is required is NodeJS as an app server and Nginx as a web & caching server then it should be quite straight forward to someone to already knows the WebODF app (not I).
