Dockerization of http-server

Relevant issues

Closes #724

Contributor checklist

• [ ] Provide tests for the changes (unless documentation-only)
• [x] Documented any new features, CLI switches, etc. (if applicable)
  • [ ] Server --help output
  • [x] README.md
  • [x] doc/http-server.1 (use the same format as other entries)
• [x] The pull request is being made against the master branch

Maintainer checklist

• [ ] Assign a version triage tag
• [ ] Approve tests if applicable

Maintainers will do the building, tagging and pushing docker images. These instructions are only for maintainers to release a new version in docker hub;

Building and Tagging the Docker Image

• Make sure to checkout the desired version/branch before building docker image for that version
• Run docker build -t {your-username}/http-server:{new-version} -t {your-username}/http-server:latest . in project root folder. This builds and tags the docker image with "latest" tag and also with the version you provide.

Pushing the Docker Image

• After successful build, you can push all tags to your docker repository
• Push the version tag: docker push {your-username}/http-server:{new-version}
• Push the "latest" tag: docker push {your-username}/http-server:latest

Note: I already have the http-server images built in docker hub in my own repository (which is tozlu/http-server), if you would like to maintain docker images in your own repository, please change README and the build/push scripts above to reflect your username for docker hub.

@mtozlu Have you try running the final bin with Google Distroless images?

FROM gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:16

@gaby No. But it looks cool. Should I switch to it? What are the benefits over alpine?

If it runs fine, I would say yes.
