Launch a Docker Container with Rocket

Download and export a Docker Container

docker pull coreos/etcd

docker run --name=etcd coreos/etcd

Export the Docker Container

mkdir rootfs

docker export etcd | sudo tar -x -C rootfs -f -

Create the app manifest

    "acVersion": "1.0.0",
    "acKind": "AppManifest",
    "name": "coreos.com/etcd",
