Q: Any plans or interest in dockerizing this "monster"? :)

I don't see a point in dockerizing this. The only advantage I see in dockerizing is that it will cut download times a little bit but it does make everything else a little bit harder. Since it is only a nodejs project one can git-clone the project and simply run npm install.

Well, actually we could provide a Dockerfile in the repository as an example but it could be seen out of scope and very simple (It would just be installing the packages, exposing the port and setting the run script).

If you have any other good reason to use docker in the project please let me know.

I think it would be good to dockerize it. As the community and project matures, we should be looking into deployments strategies and the best course of action for the future.

That said, we currently dockerize it on our own, but would love to chat with others regarding how they handle things. Since every project handles things different and how they integrate it into their stack/use cases. We all come back to this repo 👍

@Gingernaut submitted a pull request with an example Dockerfile here

Since there is interest I will consider more adding a Dockerfile, in the meanwhile the PR gives a good idea.
