Some problems I currently have with docker.

1. Dockerfiles are to static

You cannot start the docker build process with an variable (eg. a var that holds a specific branch to checkout) in your dockerfiles.

2. Managing the build process,starting and linking of multiple images/containers

I started with bash scripts then switched a tool called fig. Even though fig keeps things in a simple config file for whole setups I cannot use it because it does not wait for the DB container until it's ready to accept connections before starting a container that links to it. So I'm back writing bash scripts.

3. Replacing running containers

Restarted containers get a new IP, so all the linking does not work anymore. I had to setup a DNS server and wrap the restarting of containers in bash scripts again.

I had no big issues creating a private registry after the ssl certificate was created correctly.
