Docker Authoring mode without stopping Docker

Must be possible?
More like the VM creation?
I blindly assume all docker authoring does is allow a few extra fields and some XML output?

docker authing give one the ability to save and edit the xml. Its is ill advise to make edits to a already running docker do to how emhttp and temples are used.

even with template authoring, I have lost a template doing this doe to names.

What this does is add the save option


this generates the docker run line for inspection and the pre made xml ready to ship to a github repo to share on the CA



and even then its is kind already possible... as you can edit a running docker already...
but if you save while making edits the docker is not automatically updated to the new settings... (apply does that)

theres a form to fill out with a github repo for squid to add to the scan of the CA to add custom xml files to the unraid CA.

Authoring mode helps devs in final Q/A to add items to the CA
