Automatic one-time bootstrapping of NEO test chain in Docker (please check README)

README

This is a Docker example of automatically bootstrapping the NEO test chain in neo-python if needed.
It wil only run the bootstrap script if no chain is present in /neo-python/Chains/SC234. As the data in this dir is not persistent, it needs to be mounted as a volume.

After running the bootstrap script, the prompt.py script gets fired up. If a volume with dir /neo-python/Chains is mounted, prompt.py is fired up immediately.  

Steps to do this:
1. Put the Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh in a directory together.
2. cd to that directory and create a subdirectory test_chain
3. run "docker build -t neo-python ."
4. run "docker run -it -v /absolute/path/to/test_chain/:/neo-python/Chains"

The bootstrap script should now start downloading the fixtures.
If you want to add a wallet to the container, simply add "-v /absolute/path/to/wallet:/path/to/wallet/in/container" to the run command.
