I want to use Docker in production so I don't have to write hacks like this.

I want to put my application, any application, in a nice tidy box, ship it to a server, any server, an be confident that it'll work. That's the promise of Docker. To me, Docker doesn't deliver on that promise if I have to copy&paste a 12 line bash script from HN to be able to do that or else face out-of-space problems at surely the worst possible moment. If I have to jump through hoops like that, then what's the gain?

Might as well just install an Ubuntu VM, apt-get everything I need by hand or with ansible and add my app to the startup script. I'll have similar complexity in a more mature and well-understood environment.

If you are running a simple homogeneous setup there is literally no gain.
