The container cabin I put up on the mainland was up 4 feet using 2 bottle jacks and a beam, lifting in stages using patio pavers as shims. Once up, poured footings where needed using the round tube forms. Had to weld in posts at the large openings, but the door opening made it nice for a 6 foot wide French door set just behind the original doors, with deck at entry.
The roof assembly is too weak for a deck, you would have to joist over to the sidewall framing and plank over for a good one. Make sure you have a good elastomeric coating under the deck on the container metal to deter rot out, maybe put a fly roof over the deck to catch the rain.
