I've used systemd to great effect managing docker containers. Systemd can order the start up/shutdown of containers with other dependencies, the most common one being network file systems that are used as volumes. a very simple and clean unit file can ensure that the container is only started after the file system is mounted, and that it is killed before the file system is unmounted.
