For Docker

We ran into a few problems getting this app to run in a standard Alpine container. For the most part, this came down to Alpine uses musl rather than glibc.
Googling found this article that described statically linking the entire Go app, then building a Docker image based on the "scratch" container. The file build.sh in this directory encapsulates building the go app and creating the Docker container.
