Description

can you add to the documentation how to use this container with docker network. I think there are some autoconfigure think missing (I am not docker expert).

For example with wordpress I can do:

docker network create my-wp
docker run -d -v my-wp-db-data:/var/lib/mysql:Z \
 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=pw --net my-wp \
 --net-alias mysql --name my-wp-db mariadb:10.1
docker run -d -p 8080:80 \
 -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=pw \
 -v my-wp-data:/var/www/html:Z --net my-wp \
 --name my-wp wordpress:4.6

Linking of container is obsolete according to documentation.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation for container linking and networking. Document how to use this container with a user-created Docker network, including the WordPress-style example and any autoconfiguration details supported by the project; the work is done when network usage is clear without relying on obsolete linking.
