.plan

Simple server
- Looks for 'md' parameter in request
- Passes to markdown.
  - var markdown = require( "markdown" ).markdown;
  - return markdown.toHTML(str);
- Returns the html to response
Create Dockerfile
- Build Steps (docker build -t md2htmlsvr .)
  - Phusion ubuntu or tianen/centos:6.5
  - Install node & npm
  - Add files
  - Execute npm install
  - Set ENTRYPOINT to run server
  - Ready
- Run Steps
  - Start a container that is removed upon exit from the built image, forwarding the port the server listens on to whatever the user desires on their machine (via Makefile or args)
    - docker run --rm md2htmlsvr 8000
      - Example that would run the server, forwarding port 8000 to the node web server inside the container.
Create Makefile
- Wrap build command
- Wrap run command
- Default target should build and then run
