Hi there, there are a few improvements I'd like to propose for this: 1. Why don't you parameterize this script so that the docker pull is provided as a parameter and/or Environment variable? 2. Why don't you dockerize deploy it on Docker Hub? That way, that a universal "Docker" way to deploy the script in any given host and other users can benefit from that. 3. Add examples of using a Software-defined load balancer using HAProxy so we can reuse existing Dockerized applications with the setup I work at a big F5 customer and I'm helping the Network team to get familiar with Docker (and getting myself familiar with F5)... thanks Marcello
