Would be great if Gavel came in Docker containers

[FrankAtHexagon]

The company I work for is very interested in using Gavel for a hackathon we're hosting. However, one of the hangups on me setting up a test environment right now is that I haven't done a lot of server deployments using Python. It would be awesome and super easy if Gavel came with a Dockerfile or two, and I could just deploy the whole thing in a container.

We can leave this open and consider adding a Docker deployment option.

In the meantime, you could take a look at this pull request from last year, which contributes a Docker setup: #75. Gavel hasn't changed much in the meantime, so I'd guess that the Docker setup should work if you merge it into the current version of Gavel.

Awesome, thanks for your feedback! As I commented on the other pull request, I think having a Docker deployment option would make Gavel even more appealing. Regardless, I'll do my best to test out the pull request and see if I can get it working.

when do you plan to release the docker file in the master stream?

Going to jump in and +1 this one hard. Would love a docker deployment route.
