As an aside, so far with my trial of the plugin there's a couple of things that would be nice to add in - one is to have the option to retain the container if the build fails (so you can jump into it to see if you can find out what was failing), and the other is to be able to pass some more arguments into docker (e.g. volumes info)
Also there seems something strange is going on in that it seems to start a container, and then seem to switch to another container before the build kicks off. I haven't been able to troubleshoot this behaviour yet but wonder if something like that is expected? But it seems good at what it does so far so thanks for the plugin! Richard.
