Ah, I see. Well, Docker did get there first and for a while there was no other 
terminology. However a Google has showed me that there does seem to be a 
general effort to moved to more neutral wording so I'm happy to change the page.

This would work.

Is that the Keenwrite one?

It contains a copyright statement so I wouldn't want to take too much. I think 
it will be easiest to position the Wiki page as a simple container that 
provides the minimum needed for people to get going and link to the above 
containerfile for advanced users.
