Dockerize

An initial pass at Docker and docker compose for #48

I haven't really used nfldb before so some pointers as to what a sane default command in the docker-compose.yml should be would be great.

I have used Docker before, but I am not quite sure about your question. Can you please explain a little more about your issue?

[jfyne]

@bhavik3jain my question was related to this line. I was asking if this is a good default command to have for nfldb-update

[bhavik3jain]

I personally think it would be a great idea to have that as a command. Mainly because when someone is able to start up their docker image, they will have the most up to date values for their nfldb

Also another question for you, I don't remember this, but can I set this to point to a different database, meaning I have a database hosted on AWS, I should be able to point it to that right?

[jfyne]

Not for the proposed docker-compose.yml. As long as your AWS hosted database is postgres compatible the Dockerfile can be used to connect to that instead.

First you would need to edit the install/config.ini to point to your AWS setup. Then you would need to build the Dockerfile and then run the container. This will not do the automatic install of the default data though, as this is done in the postgres image.
