Dockerize platform for multi-cloud deployment and easy management

[telemakhos]

It would be great to have a dockerized solution, a standard docker-compose file with the necessary containers and services (Node/Express API, MongoDB, PUSH, etc) and provide some examples of deployment for several clouds. Examples:

• Deployment to AWS Beanstalk
• Deployment and autoescaling via Tutum (AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean)
• Deployment to Heroku
• Deployment to Google App Engine

The goal should be getting an open platform easy to deploy, scale and manage.

Thoughts?

Have you seen the docker container we are working in? Looks like what you need: https://github.com/instainer/parse-server-docker

Mmm I've just seen it... Installing mongo on the same container is a big anti-pattern and considered bad practice... docker containers should be stateless and you should persist the data to volumes...

Prepare a pull request maybe? I'm just getting started with Docker, and I'm sure �@tahaozket could use the help.

@telemakhos you are right, but it is a simple image for showing how it works. I should prepare another separate docker image for production usecase.

Open to adding more of these to the wiki, and publicizing any good guides... We're also working with some cloud providers.
