We intend to address "Docker-ization" tonight, at the meeting. (Get ready!)

I spent a lot of time documenting our environment on the backend and how it interacts with docker. I strongly suggest using some of what I have written to help pump-up your README :). Take a look at ms-email for a good example.

I also suggest using our node-js base image and our Dockerfile as they will suit your scenario pretty darn well dog. Make sure to note that the base image is built using alpine so it does not come with bash installed. You can still use bash with it for development as detailed in the README I linked earlier.

As an update to above, the README's no longer suggest using bash for a development environment. They instead use /bin/sh.

The front end is still not working with docker, at least not with docker-compose. We can look into this tomorrow
