I've looked into Docker and I definitely like the isolation and simplicity it provides. The one thing keeping me away has been networking and file persistence, but I haven't really put in the effort necessary to wrap my head around it. Is there a simpler, more automated way to handle the networking when publishing a new containerized app?
