Multiple Etherpad instances on one host with Docker

These Docker CLI commands will bring up multiple containers / instances on one host..

sudo docker run -d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --name ep_mysql mysql
sudo docker run -d --link=ep_mysql:mysql -p 9001:9001 tvelocity/etherpad-lite

sudo docker run -d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --name ep_mysql2 mysql
sudo docker run -d --link=ep_mysql2:mysql -p 9002:9001 tvelocity/etherpad-lite

This will bring up two unique Etherpad instances on ports 9001 and 9002. Each instance will have it’s own MySQL database.
