Description

If I am running docker-gen inside a container it would be great to be able limit processing of containers only to those docker-gen container can access (to containers in networks in which docker-gen container is by itself). Because docker-gen container can be dynamically added and removed from networks this function should be reactive and trigger regeneration of the output (it is not a pure function).

See #149 for some background discussion.

Research direction

Start by tracing how docker-gen discovers containers, observes Docker network changes, and triggers output regeneration. Define how access is determined for containers sharing networks with the docker-gen container, then verify that adding or removing a network causes the generated output to update.
