Update README.md to include detailed descriptions for additional Docker containers

 For the past 4-5 years I've been testing multiple docker containers. Here is a list of anything worth having in docker imo.. Few things may be left off or not currently maintained. I plan to add folders and update docker-compose.yml for each container later. At least for backup purposes. Some currently have private info so will need to refine those first.
