docker run -L layer://buildlayer -L file:///tmp/appsrc.tgz build.sh
docker run --layer buildlayer --layer appsrc.tgz --export build.sh > output.tgz
docker run --layer buildlayer --layer appsrc.tgz --export-file myfile build.sh > myfile

docker start foobar "run.sh web"
docker stop foobar
docker restart foobar
docker info foobar
docker logs foobar
docker destroy foobar
docker export foobar [file]
docker list

docker env foobar [list]
docker env foobar set FOO=bar BAZ=qux
docker env foobar unset FOO

docker layers [list]
docker layers add mylayer /url/or/path/to/tgz
docker layers update mylayer /diff/url/or/tgz
docker layers fetch some_url
docker layers rm mylayer
