Install vscode-server via docker

[MarkSFrancis]

I'd love to see an official docker container for vscode-server.

A maintained docker container would make installing and maintaining vscode-server much easier for me, and also bring huge security enhancements with it. If I don't use a container, I'd be exposing my entire server's file system to vscode-server (unless I use something like a VM), which is not desired behaviour.

I suspect https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7018 is going to be a blocker at the moment to being able to fully dockerize it.

Why would you not just map the .vscode-server into the container through your run command? Connecting to containers is trivial that way and there is no reason to pollute your dockerfile

I've managed to get this working here: https://github.com/ahmadnassri/docker-vscode-server, but as @extrobe pointed out, it's not at 100%
