Ah, interesting approach. What is not clear to me is how this would work for distribution. If we build the docker image with the Sling home already populated then we 'decide' the runmode, context path, etc in advance. It starts up faster, indeed, but it's less flexible. It might be worth creating different flavour though ( oak-tar, oak -mongo, etc ). Robert
