Documentation on Dockerizing AdonisJS incomplete #224

Description

@gdog2u

Package version

n/a

Describe the bug

The documentation for /Cookbooks/dockerize-adonis/ is incomplete by omitting what to do about the APP_KEY value. Following the instructions verbatim, and copy/pasting the config files here verbatim will result in the following output in the container's log.
