Hi Jason, I tried etcd from your branch [2] and with a single change [1], the etcd system container was a drop-in replacement instead of using etcd from the package.
Cheers, Spyros [1] I needed to set ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER="" since we use the option ETCD_DISCOVERY and they conflict. ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER is coming from [3]. Maybe we shouldn't set all these options by default.
