⁠Serf/Dnsmasq on Docker

This image aims to provide resolvable fully qualified domain names, between dynamically created docker containers on ubuntu.

⁠The problem

By default /etc/hosts is readonly in docker containers. The usual solution is to start a DNS server (probably as a docker container) and pass a reference when starting docker instances: docker run -dns <IP_OF_DNS>

⁠Reference

The guys at sequenceiq have done the fantastic job to solve this problem full credit to them.
