Description

As discussed briefly at https://github.com/jwilder/docker-gen/pull/130 and https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy/pull/254, it could be beneficial to restructure docker-gen to be usable both as a standalone binary and as an embedded library.

I'm opening this issue as a place to discuss the details of such a change.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue discussion and the linked docker-gen pull request #130 and nginx-proxy pull request #254. The payload names no files, tests, or entry points, so first identify how the standalone binary is structured and what an embedded-library interface would need. Done means an agreed design and a restructuring that supports both use cases.
