Description

The only instructions I could find for creating a cluster using Docker is on Docker Hub, and it hasn't been updated to use the new Docker networking model.

Two things:

  • we should update the docs on Docker Hub (@dalanmiller, do you know the best way to do this?)
  • we should have an official documentation article on our site describing how to create a cluster using Docker.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Docker Hub RethinkDB instructions linked in the issue and the existing documentation site structure. Update the Docker setup guidance for the newer networking model and add an official article explaining how to create a cluster using Docker; confirm both documentation locations cover the requested workflow.
