Now that ignition has an officially supported docker image in 8.1, I’m considering migrating our current 8.0 gateway server to a docker container. Is there any documentation available for this?

My plan would be to restore a backup on the new server and [persist the /usr/local/bin/ignition/data directory](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/docker-volumes-for-persistent-gateway-data/39378/2). Anyone try this or have any suggestions?

Yeah there is!

You can checkout the (albeit somewhat limited for now) documentation on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/inductiveautomation/ignition).

Its also worth noting that @kcollins has been [publishing unofficial docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/kcollins/ignition) for a while now with some additional features not-yet in the official images.  
We do have plans to incorporate some of these features in a first class way in the future though 😉

Hope that helps,
