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.
