Description
LOC-18 built an ansible playbook which could be used to deploy server instances.

For more ease of use (and, largely, because I want to tinker around with it) - should look at building docker images.

The codebase is quite old, and written in Python2, so will need to use an older base image for now.

I'll start with Ubuntu 16.04, and then maybe look at moving to something like Alpine later. If this project were being supported in the longer term then obviously we should really be porting to Python3 anyway.

For now, the main aim is to avoid too many headaches.

Server image successfully built - tagged with localchat-server

It was always the client, though, which had the more troublesome dependencies, so need to build an image for that too.

This is implemented - though there'll always be room for improvement.

I've updated the docs, but basically, running should be as simple as 
docker run -p 1443:8080 bentasker12/localchat:server


To expose the service on TCP 1443 and then 
docker run -it bentasker12/localchat:client https://server_url:1443


To connect out to it.
