+Host Integration
+================
+
+You can use your Docker containers with process managers like ``upstart``,
+``systemd`` and ``supervisor``.
+
Introduction
-============
+------------
+
+When you have finished setting up your image and are happy with your
+running container, you may want to use a process manager to manage
+it. To help with this, we provide a simple image: ``creack/manger:min``
+
+This image takes the container ID as parameter. We also can specify
+the kind of process manager and metadata like *Author* and
+*Description*. The output will will be text suitable for a
+configuration file, echoed to stdout. It is up to you to create the
+.conf file (for `upstart
+<http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#job-configuration-file>`_) or
+.service file (for `systemd
+<http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.service.html>`_) and
+put it in the right place for your system.
+
+Usage
+-----
-When you have finished setting up your image and are happy with your running
-container, you may want to use a process manager like `upstart` or `systemd`.
+.. code-block:: bash
-In order to do so, we provide a simple image: creack/manger:min.
+ docker run creack/manager:min [OPTIONS] <container id>
-This image takes the container ID as parameter. We also can specify the kind of
-process manager and meta datas like Author and Description.
+.. program:: docker run creack/manager:min
-If no process manager is specified, then `upstart` is assumed.
+.. cmdoption:: -a="<none>"
-Note: The result will be an output to stdout.
+ Author of the image
+
+.. cmdoption:: -d="<none>"
+
+ Description of the image
+
+.. cmdoption:: -t="upstart"
+
+ Type of manager requested: ``upstart`` or ``systemd``
+
+Example Output
+..............
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ docker run creack/manager:min -t="systemd" b28605f2f9a4
+ [Unit]
+ Description=<none>
+ Author=<none>
+ After=docker.service
+
+ [Service]
+ Restart=always
+ ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a b28605f2f9a4
+ ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 b28605f2f9a4
+
+ [Install]
+ WantedBy=local.target
-Usage
-=====
-Usage: docker run creack/manager:min [OPTIONS] <container id>
- -a="<none>": Author of the image
- -d="<none>": Description of the image
- -t="upstart": Type of manager requested
Development
-===========
+-----------
-The image creack/manager:min is a `busybox` base with the binary as entrypoint.
-It is meant to be light and fast to download.
+The image ``creack/manager:min`` is a ``busybox`` base with the
+compiled binary of ``manager.go`` as the :ref:`Entrypoint
+<entrypoint_def>`. It is meant to be light and fast to download.
-Now, if you want/need to change or add things, you can download the full
-creack/manager repository that contains creack/manager:min and
-creack/manager:dev.
+If you would like to change or add things, you can download the full
+``creack/manager`` repository that contains ``creack/manager:min`` and
+``creack/manager:dev``.
-The Dockerfiles and the sources are available in `/contrib/host_integration`.

Upstart
-=======
+-------
+
+Upstart is the default process manager. The generated script will
+start the container after the ``docker`` daemon. If the container
+dies, it will respawn. Start/Restart/Stop/Reload are
+supported. Reload will send a SIGHUP to the container.
+
+Example (``upstart`` on Debian)
+...............................
-Upstart is the default process manager. The generated script will start the
-container after docker daemon. If the container dies, it will respawn.
-Start/Restart/Stop/Reload are supported. Reload will send a SIGHUP to the container.
+.. code-block:: bash
-Example:
-`CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)`
-`docker run creack/manager:min -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /etc/init/firefoxvnc.conf`
+ CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)
+ docker run creack/manager:min -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /etc/init/firefoxvnc.conf
-You can now do `start firefoxvnc` or `stop firefoxvnc` and if the container
+You can now ``start firefoxvnc`` or ``stop firefoxvnc`` and if the container
dies for some reason, upstart will restart it.
Systemd
-=======
+-------
+
+In order to generate a systemd script, we need to use the ``-t``
+option. The generated script will start the container after docker
+daemon. If the container dies, it will respawn.
+``Start/Restart/Reload/Stop`` are supported.
+
+Example (``systemd`` on Fedora)
+...............................
-In order to generate a systemd script, we need to -t option. The generated
-script will start the container after docker daemon. If the container dies, it
-will respawn.
-Start/Restart/Reload/Stop are supported.
+.. code-block:: bash
-Example (fedora):
-`CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)`
-`docker run creack/manager:min -t systemd -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /usr/lib/systemd/system/firefoxvnc.service`
+ CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)
+ docker run creack/manager:min -t systemd -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /usr/lib/systemd/system/firefoxvnc.service
-You can now do `systemctl start firefoxvnc` or `systemctl stop firefoxvnc`
-and if the container dies for some reason, systemd will restart it.
+You can now run ``systemctl start firefoxvnc`` or ``systemctl stop
+firefoxvnc`` and if the container dies for some reason, ``systemd``
