Docker container with MacPorts

[Karan Sheth]

OK sorry, actually if we are just pushing Dockerfile with it's setup
documentation then I guess, there's no need of another repo.

So it could be something like
- Dockerfile and it's documentation
- Azure CI to test run if the dockerfile works perfectly
- Moving forward as you said we can add official Macports Image to docker
registry so that can also be automated via CI

Sounds good?

Thanks,
Karan Sheth
