1) Yes, I'm using your image as the base, then adding all the python2 modules that mp4_automator needs. So I run my image, but it is created by using yours as the base
2) OK, that makes total sense. I will have to think on how best to handle this. Maybe I can export the hosts file outside the container and dynamically populate it with my server addresses. I don't want a security breach through DNS.
Thank you for your quick response and or maintaining this great container!
