it using my Dockerfile as an example.

So I thought I'd provide some steps and we can go from there:

1. Install Docker
That's fairly easy, and with a Linux distro installed (I use CentOS, Debian), 
you can do:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh

And follow the output. I think from memory its pretty much automated, and the 
end result should be docker installed and running. A "docker info" should 
confirm it.

2. Pull my image to play with:
docker pull registry.leenooks.net/bbs/fidohub:latest-x86_64 (or armv7l if you 
doing a Pi).

3. Run the image
SRC=/srv/docker/fidohub

# --rm \
# MAC Address used because ip6= is not working
docker run \
 -dt \
 --name=fidohub \
 -v ${SRC}/binkd:/etc/binkd \
 -v ${SRC}/ftn:/etc/ftn \
 -v ${SRC}/fido:/fido \
 -v ${SRC}/tools:/usr/local/tools \
 -v ${SRC}/log:/var/log/fido \
 registry.leenooks.net/bbs/fidohub:latest-x86_64

(Change $SRC as appropriate)

This will essentially run your container in the background, and it wont bind 
the ports on the host to the guest, you'll need -p <host>:<container> 
statements when you are ready.

4. Now you can "docker exec -it fidohub bash" and you are inside the container, 



























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































and you can configure hpt/binkd as appropriate.

Make sure:
HPT is configured under /etc/ftn
BINKP is configured under /etc/binkd
Both HPT/BINKP store their data (incoming/outgoing/mailboxes/files, etc) under 
/fido
Both HPT/BINKP store the logs in /var/log/fido/
Any scripts you have are stored in /usr/local/tools

Then as you stop/start/destroy/recreate the container, that data will persist.

This should get you started...
