Anyone done a docker image yet?

Hello, I did do a search but I was surprised that no one has released a docker image yet. I'm planning to work on one this upcoming weekend. Has anyone attempted it yet? Any issues you ran into or would expect? I'm still a docker noob but I've built a few smaller containers for work, so I figure if no one else has done it, I will. Docker is so much easier than messing with VMs.

certainly docker is easier and also lighter than messing with Vm's. However I believe that no one had the will to test this, I myself use my applications and websites in a docker container and even the SQL server I use in the docker

I've been using docker for a year and a half now and it works great.
Unfortunately, now there is no time to prepare a release, but I was planning to release here a completely finished repack based on docker with additional functionality after the New Year - I hope that I will have time to do this during the holidays.
By the way, Centos 8 seems to have a similar functionality (without a docker). If someone decides to do this earlier, it seems to me that this option would be preferable.

I'm finished a "running" one but for me was totally instable.. (I'm totally beginner with Docker so 100% sure it's my fault was.)
Maybe in next months i give another shot with centos 8, but the most of packages need some replacement..

The point is to not use centos, docker images should be slim, which centos isn't.

The point of Docker is to easily port an environment(prevent IWOMM) and quickly deploy it (the reasons are left up to you), huge images(I consider anything over 1 gig huge) go against that point.

EDIT: I have just checked and it looks like centos offers slimmed down docker images as well, they're still way bigger than alpine but its still only adding ~100 mb, so it's fine to use.

For the record, the image I created was 100mb, it is certainly possible, but you'll have to figure how to fix quite a few issues.

It also can be run on ubuntu if you try hard enough IIRC :)

I'd also give Punk a little credit, he helped me a fair deal, I wasn't a docker guy.
