Hey guys, for an honest and transparent account of what Docker can and cannot do, and whether it makes sense to use and improve it vs. build your own, come say hi on #docker@freenode.
If we think it makes more sense to build your own, we'll tell you, and will share our experience to save you time while we're at it. The more containers out there, the better for everyone :)
It's poorly documented (so you'll need to dig into the source to figure out how to use it) and at least when I was using it did not play well when scripted (like sending commands to the container). It also wasn't terribly reliable (a command might work one but not the next time) and it seemed like it was in a state of transition. (moving towards a RESTful API?) I just think if you use it now you'll end up writing stuff (at least) twice.
Not that raw LXC is much better... It all seems very immature.
Can you give us some examples on where it is poorly documented so that we can fix those issues?
Also, if you can let us know what you were doing when the command didn't work the same way every time? Have you filed any issues for those yet? If not, can you, or tell me here and I can do it for you. If we don't know about your issues, it is hard for us to fix them.
