Great news everyone! I have implemented a Docker provider for bootstrap-vz
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/providers/docker.html>!
It comes with documentation and integration testing (for which the
documentation
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/testing/integration_test_providers/index.html>
has been extended).
Since there seems to be a big focus on image size in the Docker community,
I have improved the minimize_size plugin
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/plugins/minimize_size.html>
quite a bit: With only 81.95 MB for a jessie 64-bit Docker image I think
it's close to the smallest Debian image out there.
Check out the code
<https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/tree/c130368603d4f323ae819dc7b6e830892a463870/bootstrapvz/plugins/minimize_size/tasks>
if you want to know how its done, if you have suggestions for improvements
I'm all ears.
I cleaned up the manifest settings a little bit: Provider specific settings
under "image" have now been moved to "provider" and have all been
documented properly (e.g. vbox
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/providers/virtualbox.html>).
image.name is now just "name" on the top-level
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/manifests/index.html#name>.
I apologize for the backwards incompatible change, but the image section
was a bit of a mess and redundant: Everything in the manifest is about the
image - so it's kind of pleonastic to have a section named "image".
The changelog <http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/changelog.html>
has also been neglected for far too long, so I have updated that as well.
Also: All manifest documentation now comes with examples
<http://bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org/en/master/manifests/index.html#packages>.
If you spot a missing example somewhere, feel free to file a bug against it
<https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/issues>.

p.s.: If it looks like the documentation on readthedocs hasn't changed, try
refreshing. At least my browser seems to be caching those pages really hard.
