Hey,

I think that it would be wise having the distribution in a directory called just imply instead of :

/root/imply-1.0.2

Because people will do bind-mounts :

-v /var/data/druid/var:/root/imply-1.0.2/var

and if the version changes to 1.1.0 they will loose data on pull & restart

I changed the Dockerfile to use the layout:

install in /opt/imply-x.y.z
symlink /opt/imply -> /opt/imply-x.y.z so you can use /opt/imply as a fixed string
store all runtime data in /mnt/imply so you can bind-mount this if you want to use an external volume for runtime data
