consider adding docker?

Hi, thanks for your efforts here, they are really appreciated. I used to maintain these sorts of things years ago, it has always been a huge gap in the whole community that these things didn't exist.

A lot of builds use sbt-docker to spin up integration tests, or sbt-native-packager to produce docker outputs. I would go so far as to say that it's standard practice nowadays to do this for anything except a published library jar.

Would you be open to adding the docker binary (and possibly even docker-compose, although that is perhaps more niche) to your base images to accommodate that very common usecase?

It's no big thing if you say no, your images already provide a great base for teams to add their build deps onto.

Yo dawg I heard you like cgroups?

what are the potential pros and cons? would people be able to run it without the privilege mode of they don't need to build a docker image?

Personally not a fan of adding more stuff.
Creating your own image that starts with this one and adds the docker layer should not be that hard?

@eed3si9n I enjoy all kinds of groups!

I don't believe there would be any additional requirement for people using it as-is. Privileged mode or passing a socket through would only be necessary when spawning a new container.
