I've been trying to learn Docker and one of the things that has tripped me up is figuring out how to connect the different pieces and the mechanics of a deployment. Like, I need some process to reliably set up the DB container, create a user account on the DB, import some SQL... and then run the Web container, link it to the DB container, feed it the DB credentials, and so on.

I'm not sure fig totally solves this, but I'm pretty sure it's in the ballpark.
