It would be nice if this were to be containerized.

@eukaryote31 I did that for IRI+Nelson, can be found here: https://github.com/SemkoDev/nelson.cli/tree/master/contrib/ansible-playbook Downside is that is doesn't include all the goodies that iri-playbook provides.

It seems to be running (haven't finished to download DB) since every process is up and running and I suppose that atop is just for console process monitoring with can be done with other means in container.
