Answer 1

I got the Angular example template to work simply by installing nodejs into the base:

FROM microsoft/aspnetcore:2.0 AS base
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y wget && \
    apt-get install -y gnupg2 && \
    wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash - && \
    apt-get install -y build-essential nodejs
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
... rest of Dockerfile ...

Everything else (Webpack Hot swap) didn't throw an error.
