[Discuss] Container to deploy a web service

[Jason Normand]

from a strictly technical perspective, in order to make something like this
work in docker you would need to set up some kind of runtime decryption.
basically your system would need to read encrypted files from the volume
then decrypt them into a memory based storage (harder thought not
impossible to read form the host).  with docker any files in a running
container are fully accessible from the host system, and further files in
the container image can be unpacked by anyone with access to the image.  so
with docker who ever has access to the host system, has access to all
container files.
