Description

Label: Question, Feature

Recent deployment questions/issues related to generator-angular-fullstack have got me wondering what people are using to deploy their fullstack projects. I know Heroku and OpenShift are fairly popular options and are supported by the generator; however in our setups we typically package the applications in a VM or Linux container such as Docker.

We've really come to love using Docker here recently and the support/community is awesome. If you develop and or deploy with Linux, I'd highly recommend you check it out.

All that being said, I have fairly decent experience creating Dockerfiles and would not mind adding/supporting a generator-angular-fullstack Dockerfile for this project. Would that be something that users here would like to see? If there is enough interest I'll gladly put together a PR and the documentation on the various ways one might build/deploy a 'fullstack' docker image.
