This is an example docker image of how to use etcd + nginx as a dynamic load balancer.
It uses the /lb namespace and allows you to setup multiple hosts with optional SSL support.
(better documentation soon)
etcdctl set /lb/staging/hostname staging.example.com
etcdctl set /lb/staging/ssl myexamplecert
etcdctl set /lb/staging/upstreams/app1 app1:5000
