Instructions for running via Docker

[ajtrichards]

I thought i'd add some instructions for getting up and running with the Dockerfile that's in the repo

You might want to include a mount of the /data dicrectory to enable data persistance

Good call about /data -- how would that look here? Can you update it?

[avioli]

Usually something like:

mkdir ./data
docker run -p 5006:5006 -v "$(pwd)/data":/data actual-server

Depending on throughput the above method might have certain slowdowns, since it will be transferring data over the bridge to the host's file system.

An alternative would be to use docker volume create myvolume as described here: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#create-and-manage-volumes and use docker run ... --mount source=myvolume,target=/data ...

Backing up the latter is described on the same page as above: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes

Will merge this for now. We can iterate!
