any chance to have dockerfile included in the project for easier deployment?

Maybe. Can you school me? Lets assume I'm familiar with cloud hosting servers (EC2, GCE) but have never messed with docker. Is it possible to get persistent SSD with that? (Or some persistent storage. An electrum server can't just run, it needs a pretty big database that takes a while to build or download.

Any persistent storage like database or wallet information would be stored in a volume (dir on host machine) that user defines while calling `docker run jelectrum --volume /home/user/electrumdb:/var/... --volume /home/user/electrumwallet:/var/...`, this isolates data from the application. Aside from that you need to write plaintext dockerfile which is basically a set of shell commands that produces environment ready to operate. Important that then need to be non-prompt commands. You don't need to start from scratch, using `FROM java...` will use build your docker image on top of another one. Good examples here: https://github.com/dockerfile/java At the end you need expose expected ports and start your app, ensure it won't be closed because when that process closes, the docker image will stop.
