Combine this with docker export / import and you got yourself an easy way to copy images between servers :)
If you still have the setup up and running, throw this in the mix:
rsync -a -e 'ssh -c arcfour' source dest:destpath
and rsync -az -e 'ssh -c arcfour' source dest:destpath
still encrypted! The latter enables compression, but I've found it slower when dealing with several small files (ex: source code files)
