Windows 10: Enable running from docker container #269

Description

@derwok

For quick admin setup & testing we offer a docker deployment here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/4minitz/4minitz/

These docker images where generated by this script (on Mac):
.docker/BUILD.sh with help of this docker file: .docker/Dockerfile

But our current docker approach does not work on Windows.
This is due to the fact that shares from the Windows host system are not "100%" perfect from view of the Linux container. E.g. Linux fsync() calls do not work. This leads to the fact that MongoDB can not store it's data on such a share.
See https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo/ ("Where to Store Data")

The idea is to write a small Windows batch file that first sets up a docker storage container, launches this container and links together the App container (with Mongo DB) and the storage container and point MongoDB to use the storage container.

We can then publish the batch file on our docker page to get Windows users "up and running".
