Docker Image With fpm about fpm HOT 6 OPEN

Yes. Even better we should distribute fpm as a single binary for each platform.

I think we should focus more on package manager distributions than just an executable. At a minimum we should support apt, yum, pacman, and homebrew. Probably also some others. Manually installed things don't get updated very often, if at all.

Let's not forget fpm update. This is something I'd expect as a user. fpm should be able to update itself.

I'm not a target audience for Docker image but I see its value.

Linux system package managers like apt and dnf I use occasionally, but I can't take them seriously because so many packages are out of date, so they're mostly good for mature (stable) packages. I agree one should be able to get fpm using those. Then also consider Homebrew, Linuxbrew, and Snapcraft.

I quickly slapped together a docker image here. I scheduled the CI to update weekly as well.

At some point this will deserve some effort to trim down the size of the resulting image. Right now I based it on Ubuntu and built fpm in the image. It should be possible to use a more lightweight starting point (like Alpine) and just copy in the fpm executable. Then we should create a more official one and publish it on docker hub.

Great! I think it's a good start. I suggest adding the Dockerfile (and associated instructions in the README.md) to the fpm repo.
