Make dockerfile available

[srinandan]

When users deploy to shipyard, we create a dockerfile for their node.js application. I'd like to make that dockerfile available via an API or something. This will allow users to deploy and test their node.js application outside of the Apigee infra.

@mpnally @jbowen93 @whitlockjc @AdamMagaluk thoughts?

The Dockerfile is available in the source code. This isn't ideal at all, i understand. Providing an API to access it seems kind of heavy weight, but would also make it easier to maintain compared to hosting it somewhere and updating it when kiln changes.

Making it a resource with a URL seems very simple to me. what made you say
heavyweight?

I think putting it somewhere other than kiln is the better solution. kiln's job isn't to supply Dockerfiles, its to build images. Adding a resource for this, imo, will add bloat. I think we should just host it in the repo separately in a resources directory for people to reference. Or anywhere else.

For example, the docker daemon (what kiln wraps) doesn't have an API that gives you the Dockerfile of the base image you request i.e. if i want to use mhart/alpine-node:latest, there is no way for me to see that through docker APIs, i have to go to GitHub.
