I want to create a Docker image with MATLAB installed. How do I do this? 
Is there any official documentation to show me how to do this?

Yes, instructions for creating a MATLAB Docker container image are available on Docker Hub:
This is a prebuilt image that just contains MATLAB. This image is compatible with network license and Individual licenses. In order to use an Individual license, you will be prompted to sign in to your MathWorks Account and you must have an internet connection.These containers can be interacted with via command-line, but also allow for graphical options like VNC, X11 forwarding, or a web browser.
If you'd like to install additional toolboxes into the Docker Hub MATLAB container, you can instead create a custom container using the Dockerfile on the following page:
This Dockerfile will allow additional toolboxes to be installed into the container as it is built. It is based from the Docker Hub image, and will work with the same license types. 
If you're looking to create a Docker container for either non-interactive or Terminal-only usage (e.g. Continuous Integration or using batch), you can do so using our reference architecture on GitHub:
Note that this uses matlab-deps as a base image, which is a smaller image that contains the minimum dependencies for MATLAB to run, and is designed to run in a Terminal-only or batch setup. This image is intended to work with network licenses.

In addition to GitHub, the MATLAB container is also now available in dockerhub!
