I use docker in production, for a rails app. I used it because it lives on a server with other web sites and I find it a pain to install, configure and manage ruby and rails with nginx, so it was very appealing to have that all in a container and not have to worry about it.

But now I'm suffering from a year old docker bug on centos, and it's more of a pain than if i wasn't using it.

I'm sure its mostly my lack of knowledge, but my personal opinion of docker is 'not ready for production, yet'.

There is also a horrendous lack of documentation on the specifics of configuring docker for production, so you pretty much have to figure it out on your own.
