The basic proposal is already mentioned in #3707. This is an updated aproach to the same idea: officially support a production-grade deployment method using Docker. By production-grade, it is meant a deployment solution that satisfies basic needs in terms of performance and security.
- There's currently no clear deployment method supported for production (there's an entry about that in the doc, but it's incomplete and very hard to follow) which results on a lot of very poorly secured installations
- Docker works on all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)
- It's very easy to use (basically, start the whole stack in 1 command line, almost identical on any system)
- It's very easy to make new releases (basically one git tag)
