This should be clear that it is not for prod since the DB would have been
pre-installed

I've experience this too, the container would be prepared without
 "cloudstack-setup-management" as it expect to modify firewall which is not
available into container.

The way I'm seeing things,  because the DB would pre-initiated and into a
separate container, I would not use dockerfile to build it, unless there is
a way to create link at build, this is to provide the smallest container as
possible.

Also, I would use package (RPM,deb) to install cloudstack-management so it
will enforce the test/validation of packaging, and would make containers
more close to prod like deployement.

Good Idea I'll place Dockerfiles into /tools/docker
