Nomad: Release official Docker image of nomad

[eugene-chernyshenko]

Please consider releasing a blessed Docker image of nomad on Dockerhub, similar to Vault and Consul

@eugene-chernyshenko We've previously discussed this in issue #2116

While we could release a docker image that constraints the use of Nomad agents only as servers, its important to note that Nomad clients need access to the underlying host to fingerprint CPU/Disk/Memory etc. We can provide workarounds in the dockerfile, but this is not a recommended way to run Nomad clients in production.

We'll keep this issue open to gauge interest/demand.

We understand it. We want to use docker image for nomad server only. It would be helpful for many people. You can describe this moment in the documentation

I'm also interested in the servers only

I am interested in having an official nomad image for CI/CD purposes to that it would be possible to run nomad jobs from a pipeline without having to install it into the environment.

Would be much nicer having an official image than relying on community members to keep updating to the latest version.

I'm also looking for a dockerized server image as well. Clients are already running in a bare metal AMI.
