Do you know any Dockerfile (i’m looking for the list of commands) for running a new node from 0?  
Also, it is possibile to store the blockchain in the host memory instead the docker filesystem?

This is probably the best one: [Add dockerfile by ianamunoz · Pull Request #3908 · zcash/zcash · GitHub](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/3908/files)

There is a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/64461e86390f393d7216e2d20c97f53e12a83f68/Dockerfile) and also [instructions](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/64461e86390f393d7216e2d20c97f53e12a83f68/doc/docker-usage.md) on how to use.

This uses Docker volumes for the params and data directories. You could use [bind mounts](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/) and the zcash.conf file in that example is mounted in that fashion but it’s the same for directories too.
