Very true. I've yet to find a suitable image for a simple Nginx + Unicorn + Postgres + Rails setup.

You lose a lot of the flexibility by integrating everything in one big pre-configured blackbox. In some cases that's nice, like when you actually want to ship a blackbox to customers, but when managing infrastructure? Thanks but no thanks. When you have proper configuration management in place, spinning up and configuring an extra postgres, apache, nginx, jboss, redis, ... whatever container should be dead-easy, otherwise you're doing something wrong.
