Good to know, I'll update the dockerfile to remove this.

The reason is quite simple. The installation guide has been written
with Ubuntu 14.04 in mind and it tells to install the nodejs-legacy
package. And this package contains the 0.10.25 version of node. That's
why I used the old node:0.10 image.

Meh few MB will not kill anyone but I actually haven't thought about
it. I used a ruby image as base because it felt natural to me.

They are valid and I encourage to go ahead with these.
Feel free to contribute to my repository, I suppose it would benefit
anyone if we could regroup our efforts :)
