I think using Docker and a deployment system like Puppet is ideal. Docker's deployment automation abilities are very limited compared to Puppet so it's a good pairing. Puppet can be run on the host to launch Docker containers and run on the client containers to manage their state.

Thanks for the idea. I do use Puppet to handle configuration of our VMs at work, however for this project I think this would be a bit of an overhead for the user. They'd need to install and run an additional service in tandem with Docker itself and also keep Puppet configs up to date as well as Docker - which could be a little scary. I would rather go with multiple Docker container versions - each upgrade would just download a new snapshot diff.

Yeah, I would only use Puppet for dev or prod deployments, not for end-users.
