Please add Dockerfile

The Dockerfile example above leaves us with boost 1.58.0 .. EOS needs boost 1.60 or newer.

So I tried upgrading the image:
FROM phusion/baseimage:0.9.22

Add adding this before the apt-get update:
RUN add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa -y

But this is not working well with the phusion baseimage:

W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/boost-latest/ppa/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/boost-latest/ppa/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I fixed boost as follows and ended up with this docker:

Hey, james, yeah I haven't gotten around to making proper docker stuff yet. :[ You need boost 1.60 to make things work. I've just added some build instructions which may help you push forward, but note that the actual testnet instructions don't work yet.

[jcalfee]

Eosd is building with boost 1.60.0 .. The tests do not build, I don't know that I need those right now. The eosd run errors and exists. This is the output from a debug build:
