Research direction

Start with the repository's “How to use” documentation and inspect the existing one-liner examples. Add or document a simple hello-world.json example that renders a Hello World heading when run, then verify that the documented command works with the Node.js Docker image.

Description

Thinking about examples like Apache. Usually you can test if your ports, networking etc are set up correctly by simply running the default and looking if something comes up in the browser. If the script is already set up to run a single script in a one-liner, wouldn't it also make sense to provide a simple script that simply prints <h1>Hello World</h1>.
