Create publican runner to use as an utility to compile on hooks

[renoirb]

Thoughts/questions

• How about publican only dumps generated HTML into a directory so that the frontend servers reads from that directory directly.

  Tasks

• [x] Find way to make container write generated HTML into data/
• [x] Make sure it runs as close as @darobin designed it
• [x] Build container steps in a Makefile
• [x] Create Docker Hub organization
• [x] Commit and push first image
• [x] Document how to use

Could poke a build with this curl, but something’s off. I hope not anybody can make such requests otherwise it’d make a DoS surface :(

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST http://192.168.59.103:49156/hook -d '{"branch": "master", "repository": {"name":"the-index", "owner": {"name": "webspecs"}}}'

@darobin, ping! Can we talk about this?

[renoirb]

Things are going well. Except an issue with phantomjs that hangs and breaks when we use specs that uses respec (e.g. rangefinder spec).

I could finish a full build, including with the issue I outlined above.

Here is a sample of the fact that I can build specs with the new Docker container. On the following screenshot, you’ll see a compiled version of the w3c/rangefinder@dc51258 at a commit that has been made a few days ago.
