  • Add --name to docker run command to make the container easier to manipulate. (This will produce collisions if two developers both try this on the same system, but it's not worth a lot of extra documentation to try to sort out the few developers who can't figure out what's going on from the error messages.)

  • Explain better that the current repo and working copy are copied to ~/.nvm/ inside the container.

  • Explain that the container is not deleted when you exit, and how to re-enter and delete it.

  • General improvements to the language.
