Docker On Windows

Got started with Docker on Windows. Which in itself is quite the quest.

Got to a point where I could start a more complicated implementation and it failed with the following error:

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

The involved Dockerfile was pointing to a Bash shell script as ENTRYPOINT and the shell script has been altered to use CRLF instead of LF, while working under WSL

Changing the line endings back to LF fixed the issue.
