Limitations

JSON Configuration File

This image doesn't support the JSON configuration at the moment. But I do plan to add the support in the future. So please stay tuned.

Specifying Hostname & Port

Docker containers don't have the power to specify on what hostname or port of the host should the service listen to. These have to be specified using the --publish argument of docker run.

See Docker run reference for more details.
