Each container will probably be running a single application or a few services. the dependencies to run said application need to be installed and configured. this is the part I'd like to provision via ansible. I am leaning towards a templatized dockerfile (not ansible, but still close). I didn't know about lxc_containers - i will check those out as well. although I believe what I'd like to do with containers is within docker's ability.
