How I set up Kolab 3.2 in a Docker container

As the Dockerfile needs to be adapted anyways, because of host name, 
time zone, locale and so on, maybe the setup-kolab step could also be 
put inside. I need to look into this further...

I was also thinking about this before, but I don’t know enough about how 
Kolab works internally so far. Are you aware of a list of the 
files/directories that contain user data? I will have a look at the 
backup instructions as soon as I find the time, maybe there is some 
useful information...
