Docker is awesome, but specifically NOT ready for production.

From Docker's website "we make a point of saying that we’re not production ready".http://blog.docker.io/2013/08/getting-to-docker-1-0/

While I love your enthusiasm, I worry that you'll mislead others into thinking that its a good idea to replicate your setup and run something important.

I never said Docker is production ready or not. What I show you is how to run(and use) mongodb with docker.

BTW: We don't need version 1.0 to use it in production. See NodeJS.

1. You're not running your db on node. It's unlikely that your data will disappear if it turns out node has a bug -> the failure case is much more serious for mongo on docker.

2. You run the even versions of node (noted as stable) in production - they've literally set things up so there's an acceptable way to run node in production.

3. You're showing people how to make a production environment on a system who's creators do NOT want it to be in production. Sounds like a bad idea to me.
