Dockship

Deploy node.js apps on docker hosts.

Preamble

Before you start, you may want to read about the motives behind Dockship in my recent blogpost:

http://braindump.ghost.io/meet-dockship/

Goals behind this solution

• to have App-management/PaaS-logic completely client-side
• to have no server-side dependencies beside clean dockerd installation API exposed via TCP
