Install docker on subset of test machines #301
Description
As discussed in latest build WG meeting, in order to be able to run tests on certains OS's (like Alpine - see #75) we need docker to be installed on a subset of the test machines.
We should likely start by adding it as a dependency in Ansible for our ubuntu 14 machines which are fairly recent and which run docker well.

quick question: how do we then automate installing alpine/similar on top of docker? is it part of the same build script?
Vanuan commentedon May 20, 2016
@jbergstroem distribution installation is always a part of Dockerfiles. No ansible scripts needed. Here's a pull request that passes locally, but fails due to resource constraints:
nodejs/docker-node#156

The problematic part is how to publish binaries from docker to https://nodejs.org/dist/ archives.
Vanuan commentedon May 20, 2016
So there are 4 dockerfiles needed:
1 & 2 could be the same dockerfile, but with a different build context (different source trees).
3 is different in that it includes build and run scripts for tests.
4 is different in that it's mostly a packaging and deployment thing and should be used by end user

Number 4 in that list is this: nodejs/docker-node#156
But it should be triggered either regularly by the publish hook to https://nodejs.org/dist/
Number 3 is what this issue is for.
Number 1 & 2 should be handled in #75

Number 3 (this issue) is presumably being fixed by #437

I think this issue can be closed as the motivation was to get alpine runs into the ci and it looks like they are there.
