Oh yeah, being able to specify dockerfiles is golden. We actually use Makefiles to copy docker files from different directories for building, then copying them

  Couldn't you use symlinks that you create/unlink at build time?
  • nbaksalyar 12y ago
    Docker explicitly forbids usage of symlinks. But there was a workaround: tar the entire directory and then build your container from the archive, like `tar cfh * | docker build -`. Hopefully that wouldn't be needed now.

  I ended up having to call container with nginx using a custom config file for each different environment. I've been waiting for this as well...

  You could always use the "wrapper script pattern", e.g. http://blog.james-carr.org/2013/09/04/parameterized-docker-containers/ http://blog.james-carr.org/2013/09/04/parameterized-docker-c... or implement a ready-to-go solution like Tiller (https://github.com/markround/tiller https://github.com/markround/tiller) if you don't mind the overhead of ruby in your containers.
